Table 4–2 (Cont.) Flags for the snmp_request Command
Flag Description
-s sleep_interval Specifies the number of seconds between iterations of sending a request
(for the
-r flag) and listening for a reply (for the -i ) flag. The default is
1 second. This flag is ignored if neither the -r flag nor the -i flag are
specified.
The -s flag is useful for specifying a time to wait between resends, which
might be necessary when a server agent is starting up.
-t Specifies tree mode. Valid only if request-type is GetNext or GetBulk
(where flag n is set to 0 and flag m is set to a number greater than 0).
Similar to the -l flag. Directs the agent to perform a MIB walk for the
subtree with the variable_name as its root. The program reads and prints
responses and issues requests until the agent has no more data for the
specified subtree, times out, or is interrupted by a user.
-v version Specifies the SNMP version to use for sending the PDU. The versions are:
2c or 1 (default). Not case sensitive. You can specify the flag without a
space ( -v2c and -v1 ).
If request_type is getbulk , the version defaults to SNMP Version 2.
If you specify -v 2c to send a message to an SNMP Version 1 agent or
subagent, it is unlikely to respond.
-w max_wait Specifies the maximum seconds the snmp_request program waits for a
reply before timing out. Cannot be 0. The default is 3.
The -i , -r , and -s flags apply to individual queries. If you specify the -l or -t
flags also, the values for the -i , -r , and -s flags are applied to each iteration.
