Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.13.1.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterRequests
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.13.1.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterRequests.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dnsServCounterRequests.1
