NAME
       snmpcmd - options and behaviour common to most of the Net-SNMP command-
       line tools

SYNOPSIS
       snmpcmd [OPTIONS] AGENT [PARAMETERS]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the common options for  the  SNMP  commands:
       snmpbulkget,  snmpbulkwalk,  snmpdelta,	snmpget, snmpgetnext, snmpnet‐
       stat, snmpset, snmpstatus, snmptable, snmptest, snmptrap,  snmpdf, snm‐
       pusm  , snmpwalk .  The command line applications use the SNMP protocol
       to communicate with an SNMP capable network entity, an agent.  Individ‐
       ual applications typically (but not necessarily) take additional param‐
       eters that are given after the agent specification.   These  parameters
       are documented in the manual pages for each application.

COMMAND-LINE CONFIG OPTIONS
       In  addition  to	 the options described in this manual page, all of the
       tokens described in the snmp.conf and other .conf manual pages  can  be
       used  on the command line of Net-SNMP applications as well by prefixing
       them with "--".	EG, specifying --dontLoadHostConfig=true on  the  com‐
       mand  line  will	 turn  of  loading  of the host specific configuration
       files.

       The snmp.conf file settings and the double-dash arguments over-ride the
       single-dash  arguments.	 So it's important to note that if single-dash
       arguments aren't working because you have  settings  in	the  snmp.conf
       file  that  conflict  with them then you'll need to use the longer-form
       double-dash arguments to successfully trump  the	 snmp.conf  file  set‐
       tings.

Generic Options
       Thes  options  control  how  the Net-SNMP commands behave regardless of
       what version of SNMP you are using.  See further below for options that
       control specific versions or sub-modules of the SNMP protocol.

       -d     Dump (in hexadecimal) the raw SNMP packets sent and received.

       -D[TOKEN[,...]]
	      Turn  on	debugging  output for the given TOKEN(s).  Try ALL for
	      extremely verbose output.

       -h, --help
	      Display a brief usage message and then exit.

       -H     Display a list of configuration  file  directives	 under‐
	      stood by the command and then exit.

       -I [brRhu]
	      Specifies input parsing options. See INPUT OPTIONS below.

       -L [eEfFoOsS]
	      Specifies	 output	 logging  options.  See LOGGING OPTIONS
	      below.

       -m MIBLIST
	      Specifies a colon separated  list	 of  MIB  modules  (not
	      files)  to load for this application.  This overrides (or
	      augments) the environment variable  MIBS,	 the  snmp.conf
	      directive	 mibs,	and the list of MIBs hardcoded into the
	      Net-SNMP library.

	      If MIBLIST has a leading '-' or '+' character,  then  the
	      MIB  modules listed are loaded in addition to the default
	      list, coming before  or  after  this  list  respectively.
	      Otherwise,  the specified MIBs are loaded instead of this
	      default list.

	      The special keyword ALL is used to load all  MIB	modules
	      in  the MIB directory search list.  Every file whose name
	      does not begin with "." will be parsed as if  it	were  a
	      MIB file.

       -M DIRLIST
	      Specifies a colon separated list of directories to search
	      for MIBs.	 This overrides (or augments)  the  environment
	      variable	MIBDIRS,  the  snmp.conf directive mibdirs, and
	      the default directory hardcoded into the Net-SNMP library
	      (/usr/share/snmp/mibs).

	      If  DIRLIST  has a leading '-' or '+' character, then the
	      given directories are added to the  default  list,  being
	      searched	before	or  after  the directories on this list
	      respectively.  Otherwise, the specified  directories  are
	      searched instead of this default list.

	      Note  that  the  directories  appearing later in the list
	      have have precedence over earlier ones.  To avoid search‐
	      ing  any	MIB  directories,  set	the MIBDIRS environment
	      variable to the empty string ("").

	      Note that MIBs specified using the -m option or the  mibs
	      configuration  directive	will  be loaded from one of the
	      directories listed by the	 -M  option  (or  equivalents).
	      The  mibfile directive takes a full path to the specified
	      MIB file, so this does not need to be in the  MIB	 direc‐
	      tory search list.

       -v 1 | 2c | 3
	      Specifies	  the	protocol   version   to	 use:  1  (RFCs
	      1155-1157), 2c (RFCs 1901-1908), or 3  (RFCs  2571-2574).
	      The  default  is	typically  version  3.	 Overrides  the
	      defVersion token in the snmp.conf file.  -O [abeEfnqQsSt‐
	      TuUvxX]  Specifies  output  printing  options. See OUTPUT
	      OPTIONS below.

       -P [cdeRuwW]
	      Specifies MIB parsing options.  See MIB  PARSING	OPTIONS
	      below.

       -r retries
	      Specifies	 the  number  of  retries  to  be  used	 in the
	      requests. The default is 5.

       -t timeout
	      Specifies the timeout in	seconds	 between  retries.  The
	      default  is  1.	Floating  point	 numbers can be used to
	      specify fractions of seconds.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information for the application and  then
	      exit.

       -Yname="value"

       --name="value"
	      Allows one to specify any token ("name") supported in the
	      snmp.conf file and sets its value to  "value".  Overrides
	      the  corresponding  token	 in  the  snmp.conf  file.  See
	      snmp.conf(5) for the full list of tokens.

SNMPv3 Options
       The following options  are  generic  to	all  forms  of	SNMPv3,
       regardless  of  whether it's the original SNMPv3 with USM or the
       newer SNMPv3 over (D)TLS support.

       -l secLevel
	      Set the securityLevel used for SNMPv3 messages (noAuthNo‐
	      Priv|authNoPriv|authPriv).   Appropriate	pass  phrase(s)
	      must provided when using any level higher than  noAuthNo‐
	      Priv.    Overrides  the  defSecurityLevel	 token	in  the
	      snmp.conf file.

       -n contextName
	      Set  the	contextName  used  for	SNMPv3	messages.   The
	      default  contextName  is	the empty string "".  Overrides
	      the defContext token in the snmp.conf file.

SNMPv3 over TLS Options
       These options pass  transport-specific  parameters  to  the  TLS
       layer.	If  you're  using  SNMP over TLS or DTLS you'll need to
       pass a combination of these either through  these  command  line
       options or through snmp.conf configuration tokens.

       A note about <certificate-specifier>s : Net-SNMP looks for X.509
       certificates in each of the normal SNMP configuration  directory
       search  paths  under  a "tls" subdirectory.  IE, it will look in
       ~/.snmp/tls and in /usr/local/share/snmp/tls  for  certificates.
       The  certificate	 components (eg, the public and private halves)
       are stored in sub-directories underneath this root set of direc‐
       tories.	 See the net-snmp-cert tool for help in importing, cre‐
       ating and managing Net-SNMP  certificates.   <certificate-speci‐
       fier>s  can reference either a fingerprint of the certificate to
       use (the net-snmp-cert tool can help you figure out the certifi‐
       cates)  or  the	filename's prefix can be used.	For example, if
       you had a "snmpd.crt" certificate file  then  you  could	 simply
       refer to the certificate via the "snmpd" specifier.

       -T localCert=<certificate-specifier>
	      Indicates	 to  the  transport which key should be used to
	      initiate (D)TLS client connections.  This would typically
	      be a certificate found using the certificate fingerprint,
	      the application name (eg snmpd, snmptrapd, perl,	python)
	      or genericized name "snmpapp" if using one of the generic
	      applications (snmpget, snmpwalk, etc).  This can also  be
	      set using the localCert specifier in a snmp.conf configu‐
	      ration file.

       -T peerCert=<certificate-specifier>
	      If you expect a particular certificate to be presented by
	      the  other  side then you can use this specifier to indi‐
	      cate the certificate it should present.  If it  fails  to
	      present  the  expected certificate the client will refuse
	      to open the connection  (because	doing  otherwise  could
	      lead to man-in-the-middle attacks).  This can also be set
	      using the peerCert specifier in a snmp.conf configuration
	      file.

       -T trust_cert=<certificate-specifier>
	      If  you  have a trusted CA certificate you wish to anchor
	      trust with, you can use this flag to load	 a  given  cer‐
	      tificate	as  a  trust anchor.  A copy of the certificate
	      must exist within the Net-SNMP certificate storage system
	      or this must point to a complete path name.  Also see the
	      "trustCert" snmp.conf configuration token.

       -T their_hostname=<name>
	      If the server's presented certificate can	 be  validating
	      using  a trust anchor then their hostname will be checked
	      to ensure their presented hostname matches  one  that  is
	      expected	(you  don't  want  to connect to goodhost.exam‐
	      ple.com  and  accept  a  certificate  presented  by  bad‐
	      host.example.com	do  you?).   This token can specify the
	      exact host name expected to be presented	by  the	 remote
	      side,  either in a subjectAltName field or in the Common‐
	      Name field of the server's X.509 certificate.

SNMPv3 with USM Options
       These options are specific to using  SNMPv3  with  the  original
       User-based Security Model (USM).

       -3[MmKk]	 0xHEXKEY
	      Sets  the keys to be used for SNMPv3 transactions.  These
	      options allow you to set the  master  authentication  and
	      encryption  keys	(-3m  and  -3M respectively) or set the
	      localized authentication and encryption keys (-3k and -3K
	      respectively).   SNMPv3  keys  can be either passed in by
	      hand using these flags, or by the use of	keys  generated
	      from passwords using the -A and -X flags discussed below.
	      For further details on SNMPv3 and	 its  usage  of	 keying
	      information,   see  the  Net-SNMP	 tutorial  web	site  (
	      http://www.Net-SNMP.org/tutorial-5/commands/  ).	  Over‐
	      rides the defAuthMasterKey (-3m), defPrivMasterKey (-3M),
	      defAuthLocalizedKey (-3k)	 or  defPrivLocalizedKey  (-3K)
	      tokens,	respectively,	in   the  snmp.conf  file,  see
	      snmp.conf(5).

       -a authProtocol
	      Set the authentication protocol (MD5  or	SHA)  used  for
	      authenticated  SNMPv3 messages. Overrides the defAuthType
	      token in the snmp.conf file.

       -A authPassword
	      Set the authentication pass phrase used for authenticated
	      SNMPv3  messages.	  Overrides the defAuthPassphrase token
	      in the snmp.conf file. It is  insecure  to  specify  pass
	      phrases on the command line, see snmp.conf(5).

       -e engineID
	      Set the authoritative (security) engineID used for SNMPv3
	      REQUEST messages, given as a hexadecimal string  (option‐
	      ally prefixed by "0x").  It is typically not necessary to
	      specify this engine ID, as it will usually be  discovered
	      automatically.

       -E engineID
	      Set the context engineID used for SNMPv3 REQUEST messages
	      scopedPdu, given as a hexadecimal string.	 If not	 speci‐
	      fied, this will default to the authoritative engineID.

       -u secName
	      Set  the	securityName used for authenticated SNMPv3 mes‐
	      sages.   Overrides  the  defSecurityName	token  in   the
	      snmp.conf file.

       -x privProtocol
	      Set  the privacy protocol (DES or AES) used for encrypted
	      SNMPv3 messages.	Overrides the defPrivType token in  the
	      snmp.conf file. This option is only valid if the Net-SNMP
	      software was build to use OpenSSL.

       -X privPassword
	      Set the privacy pass phrase  used	 for  encrypted	 SNMPv3
	      messages.	  Overrides  the defPrivPassphrase token in the
	      snmp.conf file.  It is insecure to specify  pass	phrases
	      on the command line, see snmp.conf(5).

       -Z boots,time
	      Set the engineBoots and engineTime used for authenticated
	      SNMPv3 messages.	This will initialize the  local	 notion
	      of  the  agents  boots/time  with	 an authenticated value
	      stored in the LCD.  It  is  typically  not  necessary  to
	      specify this option, as these values will usually be dis‐
	      covered automatically.

SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c Options
       -c community
	      Set the community	 string	 for  SNMPv1/v2c  transactions.
	      Overrides the defCommunity token in the snmp.conf file.

AGENT SPECIFICATION
       The string AGENT in the SYNOPSIS above specifies the remote SNMP
       entity with which to communicate.  This specification takes  the
       form:

	      [<transport-specifier>:]<transport-address>

       At  its simplest, the AGENT specification may consist of a host‐
       name, or an IPv4 address in the standard "dotted quad" notation.
       In  this case, communication will be attempted using UDP/IPv4 to
       port 161 of the given host.  Otherwise, the  <transport-address>
       part  of	 the specification is parsed according to the following
       table:

	   <transport-specifier>       <transport-address> format

	   udp			       hostname[:port]		     or
				       IPv4-address[:port]

	   tcp			       hostname[:port]		     or
				       IPv4-address[:port]

	   unix			       pathname

	   ipx			       [network]:node[/port]

	   aal5pvc or pvc	       [interface.][VPI.]VCI

	   udp6 or udpv6 or udpipv6    hostname[:port]		     or
				       IPv6-address:port or
					'['IPv6-address']'[:port]

	   tcp6 or tcpv6 or tcpipv6    hostname[:port]		     or
				       IPv6-address:port or
					'['IPv6-address']'[:port]

       Note that <transport-specifier> strings are case-insensitive  so
       that,  for  example,  "tcp"  and "TCP" are equivalent.  Here are
       some examples, along with their interpretation:

       hostname:161	       perform query using  UDP/IPv4  datagrams
			       to  hostname on port 161.  The ":161" is
			       redundant here since that is the default
			       SNMP port in any case.

       udp:hostname	       identical to the previous specification.
			       The  "udp:"  is	redundant  here	  since
			       UDP/IPv4 is the default transport.

       TCP:hostname:1161       connect	to  hostname on port 1161 using
			       TCP/IPv4 and  perform  query  over  that
			       connection.  udp6:hostname:10161 perform
			       the query using	UDP/IPv6  datagrams  to
			       port  10161  on	hostname (which will be
			       looked up as an AAAA record).

       UDP6:[fe80::2d0:b7ff:fe21:c6c0]
			       perform the query using	UDP/IPv6  data‐
			       grams	to    port   161   at	address
			       fe80::2d0:b7ff:fe21:c6c0.

       tcpipv6:[::1]:1611      connect to port 1611 on the  local  host
			       (::1  in	 IPv6  parlance) using TCP/IPv6
			       and perform query over that connection.

       tls:hostname:10161

       dtls:hostname:10161     Connects using SNMP over DTLS or TLS  as
			       documented  by  the  ISMS  working group
			       (RFCs  not  yet	published  as  of  this
			       date).  This will require (and automati‐
			       cally ensures)  that  the  TSM  security
			       model  is  in  use.  You'll also need to
			       set up trust paths for the  certificates
			       presented  by  the server (see above for
			       descriptions of this).

       ssh:hostname:22	       Connects using SNMP over	 SSH  as  docu‐
			       mented  by  the ISMS working group (RFCs
			       not yet	published  as  of  this	 date).
			       This  will require that the TSM security
			       model   is   in	 use	(--defSecurity‐
			       Model=tsm).

       ipx::00D0B7AAE308       perform	query  using  IPX  datagrams to
			       node number 00D0B7AAE308 on the	default
			       network,	 and using the default IPX port
			       of 36879	 (900F	hexadecimal),  as  sug‐
			       gested in RFC 1906.

       ipx:0AE43409:00D0B721C6C0/1161
			       perform	query  using  IPX  datagrams to
			       port 1161 on node number 00D0B721C6C0 on
			       network number 0AE43409.

       unix:/tmp/local-agent   connect	 to   the  Unix	 domain	 socket
			       /tmp/local-agent, and perform the  query
			       over that connection.

       /tmp/local-agent	       identical to the previous specification,
			       since the Unix  domain  is  the	default
			       transport iff the first character of the
			       <transport-address> is a '/'.

       alias:myname	       perform a connection to the myname alias
			       which   needs   to  be  defined	in  the
			       snmp.conf file using a line like " alias
			       myname  udp:127.0.0.1:9161  ".  Any type
			       of transport definition can be  used  as
			       the  alias expansion parameter.	Aliases
			       are  particularly   useful   for	  using
			       repeated complex transport strings.

       AAL5PVC:100	       perform	the  query using AAL5 PDUs sent
			       on the permanent	 virtual  circuit  with
			       VPI=0 and VCI=100 (decimal) on the first
			       ATM adapter in the machine.

       PVC:1.10.32	       perform the query using AAL5  PDUs  sent
			       on  the	permanent  virtual circuit with
			       VPI=10 (decimal) and VCI=32 (decimal) on
			       the  second  ATM adapter in the machine.
			       Note  that  "PVC"  is  a	  synonym   for
			       "AAL5PVC".

       Note that not all the transport domains listed above will always
       be available; for instance, hosts with no IPv6 support will  not
       be  able	 to use udp6 transport addresses, and attempts to do so
       will result in the error "Unknown host".	 Likewise,  since  AAL5
       PVC  support  is only currently available on Linux, it will fail
       with the same error on other platforms.

MIB PARSING OPTIONS
       The Net-SNMP MIB parser mostly adheres to the Structure of  Man‐
       agement	Information  (SMI).   As that specification has changed
       through time, and in recognition of the (ahem) diversity in com‐
       pliance	expressed in MIB files, additional options provide more
       flexibility in reading MIB files.

       -Pc    Toggles whether ASN.1 comments should extend to  the  end
	      of  the  MIB  source  line.   Strictly speaking, a second
	      appearance of "--" should terminate the comment, but this
	      breaks  some MIB files.  The default behaviour (to inter‐
	      pret comments correctly) can also be set with the config‐
	      uration token commentToEOL.

       -Pd    Disables	the  loading  of  MIB  object DESCRIPTIONs when
	      parsing MIB files.  This reduces	the  amount  of	 memory
	      used by the running application.

       -Pe    Toggles  whether	to show errors encountered when parsing
	      MIB files.  These include references to IMPORTed	modules
	      and  MIB objects that cannot be located in the MIB direc‐
	      tory search list.	 The default behaviour can also be  set
	      with the configuration token showMibErrors.

       -PR    If  the  same MIB object (parent name and sub-identifier)
	      appears multiple times in the  list  of  MIB  definitions
	      loaded,  use the last version to be read in.  By default,
	      the first version will be used, and any  duplicates  dis‐
	      carded.  This behaviour can also be set with the configu‐
	      ration token mibReplaceWithLatest.

	      Such ordering is normally only relevant if there are  two
	      MIB  files  with	conflicting  object definitions for the
	      same OID (or different revisions of the  same  basic  MIB
	      object).

       -Pu    Toggles  whether	to allow the underline character in MIB
	      object names and other symbols.  Strictly speaking,  this
	      is not valid SMI syntax, but some vendor MIB files define
	      such names.  The default behaviour can also be  set  with
	      the configuration token mibAllowUnderline.

       -Pw    Show  various  warning  messages in parsing MIB files and
	      building the overall OID tree.  This can also be set with
	      the configuration directive mibWarningLevel 1

       -PW    Show some additional warning messages, mostly relating to
	      parsing individual MIB objects.  This  can  also	be  set
	      with the configuration directive mibWarningLevel 2

OUTPUT OPTIONS
       The  format  of	the output from SNMP commands can be controlled
       using various parameters of the -O flag.	 The effects  of  these
       sub-options can be seen by comparison with the following default
       output (unless otherwise specified):
	      $ snmpget -c public -v 1 localhost sysUpTime.0
	      SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (14096763) 1 day, 15:09:27.63

       -Oa    Display string values as ASCII strings (unless there is a
	      DISPLAY-HINT  defined  for the corresponding MIB object).
	      By default, the library attempts to determine whether the
	      value  is	 a  printable or binary string, and displays it
	      accordingly.

	      This option does not affect objects that do have	a  Dis‐
	      play Hint.

       -Ob    Display  table indexes numerically, rather than trying to
	      interpret the instance subidentifiers as	string	or  OID
	      values:
		  $ snmpgetnext -c public -v 1 localhost vacmSecurityModel
		  SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmSecurityModel.0."wes" = xxx
		  $ snmpgetnext -c public -v 1 -Ob localhost vacmSecurityModel
		  SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmSecurityModel.0.3.119.101.115 = xxx

       -Oe    Removes the symbolic labels from enumeration values:
		  $ snmpget -c public -v 1 localhost ipForwarding.0
		  IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: forwarding(1)
		  $ snmpget -c public -v 1 -Oe localhost ipForwarding.0
		  IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: 1

       -OE    Modifies index strings to escape the quote characters:
		  $ snmpgetnext -c public -v 1 localhost vacmSecurityModel
		  SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmSecurityModel.0."wes" = xxx
		  $ snmpgetnext -c public -v 1 -OE localhost vacmSecurityModel
		  SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmSecurityModel.0.\"wes\" = xxx

	      This allows the output to be reused in shell commands.

       -Of    Include  the  full list of MIB objects when displaying an
	      OID:
		  .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime.0 =
			     Timeticks: (14096763) 1 day, 15:09:27.63

       -On    Displays the OID numerically:
		  .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 =	Timeticks:  (14096763)	1  day,
	      15:09:27.63

       -Oq    Removes the equal sign and type information when display‐
	      ing varbind values:
		  SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 1:15:09:27.63

       -OQ    Removes the type information when displaying varbind val‐
	      ues:
		  SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = 1:15:09:27.63

       -Os    Display  the  MIB object name (plus any instance or other
	      subidentifiers):
		  sysUpTime.0	=   Timeticks:	 (14096763)   1	   day,
	      15:09:27.63

       -OS    Display the name of the MIB, as well as the object name:
		  SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0  =  Timeticks:  (14096763)  1
	      day, 15:09:27.63

	      This is the default OID output format.

       -Ot    Display TimeTicks values as raw numbers:
		  SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = 14096763

       -OT    If values are printed as Hex strings, display a printable
	      version as well.

       -Ou    Display  the  OID in the traditional UCD-style (inherited
	      from the original	 CMU  code).   That  means  removing  a
	      series  of "standard" prefixes from the OID, and display‐
	      ing the remaining list of	 MIB  object  names  (plus  any
	      other subidentifiers):
		  system.sysUpTime.0  =	 Timeticks:  (14096763)	 1 day,
	      15:09:27.63

       -OU    Do not print the UNITS suffix at the end of the value.

       -Ov    Display the varbind value only, not the OID:
		  $ snmpget -c public -v 1 -Ov localhost ipForwarding.0
		  INTEGER: forwarding(1)

       -Ox    Display string values as Hex strings (unless there  is  a
	      DISPLAY-HINT  defined  for the corresponding MIB object).
	      By default, the library attempts to determine whether the
	      value  is	 a  printable or binary string, and displays it
	      accordingly.

	      This option does not affect objects that do have	a  Dis‐
	      play Hint.

       -OX    Display  table  indexes  in a more "program like" output,
	      imitating a traditional array-style index format:
		  $ snmpgetnext -c public -v 1 localhost ipv6RouteTable
		  IPv6-MIB::ipv6RouteIfIndex.63.254.1.0.255.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.64.1 = INTEGER: 2
		  $ snmpgetnext -c public -v 1 -OX localhost ipv6RouteTable
		  IPv6-MIB::ipv6RouteIfIndex[3ffe:100:ff00:0:0:0:0:0][64][1] = INTEGER: 2

       Most of these options can also be configured  via  configuration
       tokens.	See the snmp.conf(5) manual page for details.

LOGGING OPTIONS
       The  mechanism and destination to use for logging of warning and
       error messages can be controlled by passing  various  parameters
       to the -L flag.

       -Le    Log messages to the standard error stream.

       -Lf FILE
	      Log messages to the specified file.

       -Lo    Log messages to the standard output stream.

       -Ls FACILITY
	      Log  messages  via  syslog,  using the specified facility
	      ('d' for LOG_DAEMON, 'u' for  LOG_USER,  or  '0'-'7'  for
	      LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7).

       There  are  also "upper case" versions of each of these options,
       which allow the corresponding logging mechanism to be restricted
       to  certain priorities of message.  Using standard error logging
       as an example:

       -LE pri
	      will log messages of priority 'pri' and above to standard
	      error.

       -LE p1-p2
	      will  log	 messages  with	 priority between 'p1' and 'p2'
	      (inclusive) to standard error.

       For -LF and -LS the priority specification comes before the file
       or facility token.  The priorities recognised are:

	      0 or !  for LOG_EMERG,
	      1 or a for LOG_ALERT,
	      2 or c for LOG_CRIT,
	      3 or e for LOG_ERR,
	      4 or w for LOG_WARNING,
	      5 or n for LOG_NOTICE,
	      6 or i for LOG_INFO, and
	      7 or d for LOG_DEBUG.

       Normal  output  is  (or	will be!) logged at a priority level of
       LOG_NOTICE

INPUT OPTIONS
       The interpretation of input object names and the	 values	 to  be
       assigned	 can  be  controlled using various parameters of the -I
       flag.  The default behaviour will be described  at  the	end  of
       this section.

       -Ib    specifies	 that  the  given  name should be regarded as a
	      regular expression, to match (case-insensitively) against
	      object  names  in the MIB tree.  The "best" match will be
	      used - calculated as the one that matches the closest  to
	      the  beginning  of  the  node name and the highest in the
	      tree.  For  example,  the	 MIB  object  vacmSecurityModel
	      could  be	 matched  by  the  expression vacmsecuritymodel
	      (full name, but different case), or  vacm.*model	(regexp
	      pattern).

	      Note  that  '.' is a special character in regular expres‐
	      sion patterns, so the expression cannot specify  instance
	      subidentifiers  or  more	than  one object name.	A "best
	      match" expression will only be applied against single MIB
	      object  names.   For example, the expression sys*ontact.0
	      would  not  match	 the  instance	sysContact.0  (although
	      sys*ontact  would match sysContact).  Similarly, specify‐
	      ing  a   MIB   module   name   will   not	  succeed   (so
	      SNMPv2-MIB::sys.*ontact would not match either).

       -Ih    disables the use of DISPLAY-HINT information when assign‐
	      ing values.  This would then require  providing  the  raw
	      value:
		  snmpset ... HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemDate.0
				  x "07 D2 0C 0A 02 04 06 08"
	      instead of a formatted version:
		  snmpset ... HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemDate.0
				  = 2002-12-10,2:4:6.8

       -Ir    disables	checking  table	 indexes  and  the  value to be
	      assigned against the relevant MIB definitions.  This will
	      (hopefully)  result  in  the  remote  agent  reporting an
	      invalid request, rather  than  checking  (and  rejecting)
	      this before it is sent to the remote agent.

	      Local checks are more efficient (and the diagnostics pro‐
	      vided also tend to be more precise), but	disabling  this
	      behaviour	 is particularly useful when testing the remote
	      agent.

       -IR    enables "random access" lookup of MIB names.  Rather than
	      providing	 a  full OID path to the desired MIB object (or
	      qualifying this object with an explicit MIB module name),
	      the  MIB	tree  will  be searched for the matching object
	      name.  Thus .iso.org.dod.internet.mib-2.system.sysDescr.0
	      (or  SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0)  can	 be specified simply as
	      sysDescr.0.

	      Warning:
		     Since MIB object names are	 not  globally	unique,
		     this  approach  may  return a different MIB object
		     depending on which MIB files have been loaded.

	      The MIB-MODULE::objectName syntax has  the  advantage  of
	      uniquely	identifying a particular MIB object, as well as
	      being slightly more efficient (and automatically	loading
	      the necessary MIB file if necessary).

       -Is SUFFIX
	      adds  the	 specified  suffix to each textual OID given on
	      the command line.	 This can be used to retrieve  multiple
	      objects  from  the  same	row of a table, by specifying a
	      common index value.

       -IS PREFIX
	      adds the specified prefix to each textual	 OID  given  on
	      the  command  line.   This  can  be  used	 to  specify an
	      explicit MIB module name for all objects being  retrieved
	      (or for incurably lazy typists).

       -Iu    enables  the traditional UCD-style approach to interpret‐
	      ing input OIDs.  This assumes that OIDs are rooted at the
	      'mib-2'  point  in  the  tree  (unless they start with an
	      explicit '.' or include a MIB module name).  So the  sys‐
	      Descr instance above would be referenced as system.sysDe‐
	      scr.0.

       Object names specified with a leading '.' are always interpreted
       as  "fully  qualified" OIDs, listing the sequence of MIB objects
       from the root of the MIB tree.  Such objects and those qualified
       by  an  explicit	 MIB module name are unaffected by the -Ib, -IR
       and -Iu flags.

       Otherwise, if none of the above input options are specified, the
       default	behaviour  for a "relative" OID is to try and interpret
       it as an (implicitly) fully qualified OID,  then	 apply	"random
       access"	lookup (-IR), followed by "best match" pattern matching
       (-Ib).
