Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.14.17.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcBridgeFdbProtectViolationDownPort

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.14.17.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RC-BRIDGE-MIB::rcBridgeFdbProtectViolationDownPort.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.14.17.1.8.1 s <value>
