This is a collection of command-line SNMP tools written in pure-Python.
The tools mimic their famous [Net-SNMP](https://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/)
counterparts.

In the past this project was known as *pysnmp-apps*.

Features
--------

* Complete SNMPv1/v2c and SNMPv3 support
* Interface compatible (almost) with Net-SNMP's snmp\* tools.
* SNMPv3 USM supports MD5/SHA/SHA-224/SHA-256/SHA-384/SHA-512 auth and
  DES/3-DES/AES-128/AES-192/AES-256 privacy crypto algorithms
* Automatically downloads required MIBs from the Internet
* Runs over IPv4 and/or IPv6 transports
* Cross-platform: works on Linux, Windows and macOS.
* 100% Python, works with Python 3.8+

available as a Github [repo](https://github.com/lextudio/snmpclitools).

Installation
------------

Download snmpclitools from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/snmpclitools) or just run:

```bash
$ pip install snmpclitools
```

How to use the tools
--------------------

The most of pysnmp command-line tools could be run in a similar way as their Net-SNMP counterparts. For example:

```bash
$ snmpbulkwalk -v3 -u usr-md5-des -l authPriv -A authkey1 -X privkey1 demo.pysnmp.com system
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = DisplayString: Linux grommit 3.5.11.1 #2 PREEMPT Tue Mar 1 14:03:24 MSD 2016 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = ObjectIdentifier: iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.8072.3.2.101.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = TimeTicks: 43 days 1:55:47.85372214785
[ skipped ]
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime."8" = TimeStamp: 0 days 0:0:0.77
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime."9" = TimeStamp: 0 days 0:0:0.77

$ snmpget -v3 -u usr-sha-aes -l authPriv -A authkey1 -X privkey1 demo.pysnmp.com IP-MIB::ipAdEntBcastAddr.\"127.0.0.1\"
IP-MIB::ipAdEntBcastAddr."127.0.0.1" = Integer32: 1

$ snmpset -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = my-new-descr
notWritable(17)
```

For more information, please, run any of these tools with `--help` option.

You can play with different security protocols against the publicly available SNMP
agent like [this one @www.pysnmp.com](https://www.pysnmp.com/snmpsim/public-snmp-agent-simulator.html).
