NAME

       snmptranslate  -  translate  MIB  OID names between numeric and textual
       forms


SYNOPSIS

       snmptranslate [OPTIONS] OID [OID]...


DESCRIPTION

       snmptranslate is an application that translates one or more SNMP object
       identifier values from their symbolic (textual) forms into their numer-
       ical forms (or vice versa).

       OID is either a numeric or textual object identifier.


OPTIONS

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

       -h      Display a brief usage message and then exit.

       -m MIBLIST
               Specifies  a  colon  separated  list of MIB modules to load for
               this application.   This  overrides  the  environment  variable
               MIBS.

               The  special  keyword ALL is used to specify all modules in all
               directories when searching for MIB  files.   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 the environment variable MIBDIRS.

       -T TRANSOPTS
               Provides  control  over the translation of the OID values.  The
               following TRANSOPTS are available:

               -TB   Print all matching objects for a regex search.

               -Td   Print full details of the specified OID.

               -Tp   Print a graphical tree, rooted at the specified OID.

               -Ta   Dump the loaded MIB in a trivial form.

               -Tl   Dump a labeled form of all objects.

               -To   Dump a numeric form of all objects.

               -Ts   Dump a symbolic form of all objects.

               -Tt   Dump a tree form of the loaded MIBs  (mostly  useful  for
                     debugging).

               -Tz   Dump  a numeric and labeled form of all objects (compati-
                     ble with MIB2SCHEMA format).

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

       -w WIDTH
               Specifies  the width of -Tp and -Td output. The default is very
               large.

       In addition to the above options, snmptranslate  takes  the  OID  input
       (-I),  MIB  parsing  (-M)  and OID output (-O) options described in the
       INPUT OPTIONS, MIB PARSING OPTIONS and OUTPUT OPTIONS sections  of  the
       snmpcmd(1) manual page.


EXAMPLES

       o   snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr
           will translate "sysDescr" to a more qualified form:

           system.sysDescr

       o   snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr
           will translate "sysDecr" to:

           .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr

       o   snmptranslate -Td -OS system.sysDescr
           will translate "sysDecr" into:

           SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr
           sysDescr OBJECT-TYPE
             -- FROM SNMPv2-MIB
             -- TEXTUAL CONVENTION DisplayString
             SYNTAX OCTET STRING (0..255)
             DISPLAY-HINT "255a"
             MAX-ACCESS read-only
             STATUS current
             DESCRIPTION "A textual description of the entity. This
                          value should include the full name and
                          version identification of the system's
                          hardware type, software operating-system,
                          and networking software."
           ::= { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) mgmt(2) mib-2(1) system(1) 1 }

       o   snmptranslate -Tp -OS system
