Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwDiskShares

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwDiskShares.1
