Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.27.1.22
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SW-MIB::swConnUnitProcRequired

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.27.1.22.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SW-MIB::swConnUnitProcRequired.1
