Getting the next OID variable

The getnext(ADMN) command is used to retrieve the value of the variable that is lexically next to the given OID. The argument variable_name may be expressed either in dot-notation format or using an object name. The role of variable_name is somewhat different in getnext from that in other commands; it can refer either to an object instance ifType.1 or a variable class name ifType.

The syntax is getnext node community variable.

The following shows an example of getnext:

getnext example

   # getnext paris public ifType

   Value: 6
   

   # getnext paris public ifType.2
   

   Name: ifType.3
   Value: 24
   

   # getnext paris public ifType.3
   

   Name: ifMtu.1
