Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.2.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1271-MIB::etherHistoryDropEvents

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.2.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1271-MIB::etherHistoryDropEvents.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> etherHistoryDropEvents.1
