HOWTO Use SnmpTranslate command

1.- Use of SNMPTANSLATE: In a general way

wmunguiam@server:~$ snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1

wmunguiam@server:~$ snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr

wmunguiam@server:~$ snmptranslate -Tl | head
.iso(1).org(3)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).directory(1)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).mgmt(2)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).mgmt(2).mib-2(1)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).mgmt(2).mib-2(1).system(1)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).mgmt(2).mib-2(1).system(1).sysDescr(1)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).mgmt(2).mib-2(1).system(1).sysObjectID(2)
.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).mgmt(2).mib-2(1).system(1).sysUpTime(3)

wmunguiam@server:~$ snmptranslate -To | head

2.- Use of SNMPTANSLATE: Focus in specific Object

wmunguiam@server:~$ locate NET-SNMP

wmunguiam@server:~$ cd /usr/share/snmp/mibs/
wmunguiam@server:/usr/share/snmp/mibs$ snmptranslate -M+. -mNET-SNMP-MIB -Tp -IR netSnmp
