Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BRIDGE-MIB::dot1dBaseBridgeAddress

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BRIDGE-MIB::dot1dBaseBridgeAddress.1
