Obtain a tree of information from a network device, using automatic SNMP GETNEXT commands. In the NIOS administrative shell version of the **snmpwalk** command, you can specify the SNMP version, the community string, and the desired Root Object ID (OID).

# Syntax

`snmpwalk <hostname or IP address> <SNMP OID>`

# Example

The following example lists a partial output from querying the root Object ID for a Cisco Nexus 5K switch (this technique is also useful for looking up other Object IDs within a particular device):
