Say if you are using snempget utility ... use this snmpget <Agent IP Address> .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr.o <community key> for eg. When i run the same command from linux server for another linux server .. i got this response . .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr.0 = Linux capslnxsrv2 2.2.16-22 #1 Tue Aug 22 16:49:06 EDT 2000 i686 regards, Mahesh Upvote 0 Downvote
