Retrieve Version Information about Router Software Components

Purpose

RFC 2790, Host Resources MIB, describes a set of managed objects that are useful for managing host systems, including routers.

Action

To retrieve version information about software components on the router, from a management station that has access to the router and using a tool, such as Snmpwalk, enter the following command:

user-bsd# snmpwalk [common arguments] hostname community object-id

Sample Output

user-nms % snmpwalk -Os -M /volume/~/mibs -m all tp1 public .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3
