SNMP Command Line Interface The scli package was written to address the need for small and efficient command line utilities to monitor and configure network devices and host systems. The scli package is based on the SNMP management protocol. It utilizes a MIB compiler called smidump to generate C stub code. scli connects to any SNMP-enabled network node and lets you interactively browse through the values stored in the devices SNMP database (MIB, Management Information Base). It also has a scriptable, non-interactive mode.
