Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.2.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IP-FORWARD-MIB::ipForwardProto

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.2.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IP-FORWARD-MIB::ipForwardProto.1
