SUMMARY

This step-by-step article describes how to use the Snmputil.exe tool to verify the Microsoft SNMP Agent configuration.

You can use the Snmputil.exe tool in the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit to verify that the SNMP service has been correctly configured to communicate with SNMP management stations.

Valid Commands

The following are valid commands you can use with the Snmputil.exe tool:

Get - This command gets the value of the requested object identifier.
Getnext - This command gets the value of the next object that follows the specified object identifier.
Walk - This command is used to step through (walk) the MIB branch that is specified by the object identifier.

Install the Lan Manager MIB-II Agent

The LAN Manager MIB-II Agent for Windows NT is installed automatically with the SNMP agent, so it is the most convenient MIB to test against.

The following sections illustrate a sample query and response.

Sample Query

snmputil getnext localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1

Sample Response

Variable =
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.lanmanager.lanmgr-2.common.comVersionMaj.0
Value = OCTET STRING - 4
