Sharon, The snmpget command will give you the real time value for that counter at that precise moment. That might not be very useful. You also need to know the exact MIB value you are looking for. You may want to get the overall result at which point you will need a dedicated SNMP software to do the analysis for you. HP Openview does a good job at this but it is an expensive solution. You may want to search the web for SNMP tools shareware and look for a utility that will graph the data for you and also a MIB browser. Food for thoughts.

[7:28266] Hi.. Can you teach me how to use the snmp community name to get the information I want. What I want is to get is input/output bits/sec counters on the int serial2/0 interface. 30 second input rate 19000 bits/sec, 19 packets/sec 30 second output rate 37000 bits/sec, 43 packets/sec I found a command in UNIX -snmpget, the usage is shown below, I know how to specify hostname and community, but I don't know how to specify the object ID in order to get the information that I want.
