getid(ADMN)
getid --
retrieve system MIB variables from SNMP entity
Synopsis
getid [-T timeout] entity_addr community_string
Description
The getid command is an SNMP application that retrieves
the variables sysDescr.0, sysObjectID.0, and
sysUpTime.0 from an SNMP entity.
The arguments are the entity's address and the community string needed
for access to the SNMP entity.
The entity address can be either an IP address or entity name (if
name-to-address resolution is enabled).
The community string used must be valid on the given entity.
Community strings are kept in /etc/netmgt/snmpd.comm.
The primary purpose of this application is to illustrate the use of the
SNMP library routines.
Options
By default, getid waits 20 seconds for a response from the entity
specified by entity_addr. Use the -T timeout
option to specify a different number of seconds for the command to wait
for a response.
