Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortName

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsEPortName.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.3.6.1.1.1.2.1 s <value>
