getone(ADMN)

getone -- management utility that retrieves variables from an SNMP entity

Syntax

getone [ -f defns_file ] entity_addr community_string variable_name
[ variable_name ] ...

Description

getone is an SNMP application to retrieve a set of individual variables from an SNMP entity using a GET request. The arguments are the entity's address, the community string for access to the SNMP entity, and the fully qualified variable name(s) expressed as either dot-notation or the variable name as it appears in the MIB document.

The optional argument -f is used to specify a file containing the mosy(ADMN) and post_mosy(ADMN) compiled list of object names and their numeric Object Identifiers, in addition to the objects in the standard MIB. This allows the user to dynamically augment the number of objects that can be recognized by the management utility.

It should be noted that since the function is GET, as opposed to a GET-NEXT, the variable must be fully qualified for the request to be successful. For instance:

getone suzzy public sysDescr.0 ifNumber.0

would return the variables sysDescr.0 and ifNumber.0 but the call

getone suzzy public system

would return an error from the entity since ``system'' is not a fully qualified SNMP variable.

getone -f cisco.objects cisco_box public romId.0 domainName.0

would return the variables romId.0 and domainName.0.
