Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.8886.6.1.22.2.2.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-RMON-MIB::rEtherHistoryMulticastPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.8886.6.1.22.2.2.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-RMON-MIB::rEtherHistoryMulticastPkts.1

SNMPv3 example:

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