snmp-bridge-mib  snmpconf         snmpget          snmpset          snmptranslate    snmpvacm
snmpbulkget      snmpd            snmpgetnext      snmpstatus       snmptrap         snmpwalk
snmpbulkwalk     snmpdelta        snmpinform       snmptable        snmptrapd        
snmpcheck        snmpdf           snmpnetstat      snmptest         snmpusm

Snmpwalk is useful command to collect information from network device with SNMP agents. Depending on what version of SNMP, you will need to use one of the following commands

SNMPv1

snmpwalk -v1 -c{ community-name } ip_address

snmpwalk -v 1 -ctest-lab 10.1.0.201
