23: .SH NAME
24: snmpi \- really minimal SNMP initiator
25: .SH SYNOPSIS

27: .ti -.5i
28: .B snmpi
29: \%[-a\0agent]
30: \%[-c\0community]
31: \%[-f\0file]

36: .in -.5i
37: .SH DESCRIPTION
38: The \fIsnmpi\fR program is an extremely simple program,
39: used to test \fIsnmpd\fR.
40: Once \fIsnmpd\fR is started,
41: to see if it's running,
42: do:
43: .sp
44: .in +.5i
45: .nf
46: % snmpi dump
47: .fi
48: .in -.5i
49: .sp
50: This should generate voluminous output.
51: .SH OPTIONS
52: The `-a' switch sets the address of the SNMP agent.
53: Either a hostname, an IP-address, or a transport address (using
54: Kille's string syntax) may be used.
55: The default is the localhost.
56: Similarly,
57: the `-p' switch sets the UDP port number that the agent resides on
58: (if an IP-style address is given, obviously).
59: The default is UDP port 161.
60: .PP
61: The `-c' switch sets the community name for the SNMP request.
62: The default is public.
63: .PP
64: The `-d' switch enables debugging.
65: This doesn't do anything yet.
66: .PP
67: The `-f' switch selects a file containing compiled MIB module definitions.
68: The default is \fIobjects.defs\fR.
69: .PP
70: The `-w' switch enables watching.
71: When SNMP messages are exchanged,
72: they will be pretty-printed on the terminal if the user is watching.
73: .PP
74: The `-v' switch enables verbose interaction.
75: This doesn't do anything yet.
76: .SH FILES
77: .nf
78: .ta \w'\*(EDobjects.defs 'u
79: \*(EDobjects.defs MIB definitions
80: .re
81: .fi
82: .SH "NOTE WELL"
83: The names of the objects in \fBobjects.defs\fR are case sensitive.
84: This was necessary to improve the efficiency of the hashing algorithm
85: used for object lookup.
86: .SH "SEE ALSO"
87: RFCs 1155, 1156, and 1157.

103: Although this package is distributed with the ISODE,
104: it is not an OSI program, per se.
105: Inasmuch as the continued survival of the Internet hinges on all nodes
106: becoming network manageable,
107: this package was developed using the ISODE and is being freely
108: distributed with releases of Berkeley UNIX.
109: .PP
110: It must be stressed that this package is not a complete network management
111: system.
112: In particular,
113: whilst \fIsnmpd\fR provides a minimal agent functionality,
114: there are no Network Operation Center (NOC) tools--\fIsnmpi\fR is a
115: debugging aid only.
