SYNOPSIS
snmptranslate [-n] [-d] [-r] objectID

DESCRIPTION
Snmptranslate is an application that translates an SNMP object (SMI value or symbolic form) into another form of information. With no other options, an SNMP object will be translated to its SMI value.

The options have the following meanings:

-n  Translate an SNMP object to its symbolic form.

-d  Print a description of the object.

-r  Use "random access" to access the symbolic object wherever in the MIB tree it lives. For example

snmptranslate -n -r sysdescr

will translate "sysDescr" to a more qualified form:
