What is sysORDescr?

This is a text string describing what the corresponding sysORID capability means in human terms.

For example, the description might be 'CISCO-ENTITY-REDUNDANCY-MIB' to indicate the device supports redundancy reporting.

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.1
