Advanced Command Generator

Concurrent queries

Send multiple SNMP GET requests at once using the following options:

• with SNMPv2c, community ‘public’

• over IPv4/UDP

• to multiple Agents at localhost

• for instance of SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object

• based on asyncio I/O framework

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpget -v2c -c public localhost:161 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0

$ snmpget -v2c -c public localhost:162 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0

$ snmpget -v2c -c public localhost:163 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0

    errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = await getCmd(
        snmpEngine,

        ContextData(),

Functionally similar to:
