Table 4–2 (Cont.) Flags for the snmp_request Command
Flag	Description
-ssleep_interval	Specifies the number of seconds between iterations of sending a request
	(for the -rflag) and listening for a reply (for the -i) flag. The default is
	1 second. This flag is ignored if neither the -rflag nor the -iflag are
	specified.
	The -sflag is useful for specifying a time to wait between resends, which
	might be necessary when a server agent is starting up.
-t	Specifies tree mode. Valid only if request-typeis GetNext or GetBulk
	(where flag n is set to 0 and flag m is set to a number greater than 0).
	Similar to the -lflag. Directs the agent to perform a MIB walk for the
	subtree with the variable_name as its root. The program reads and prints
	responses and issues requests until the agent has no more data for the
	specified subtree, times out, or is interrupted by a user.
-vversion	Specifies the SNMP version to use for sending the PDU. The versions are:
	2c or 1 (default). Not case sensitive. You can specify the flag without a
	space (-v2cand -v1).
	If request_type is getbulk, the version defaults to SNMP Version 2.
	If you specify -v 2c to send a message to an SNMP Version 1 agent or
	subagent, it is unlikely to respond.
-wmax_wait	Specifies the maximum seconds the snmp_request program waits for a
	reply before timing out. Cannot be 0. The default is 3.

The -i, -r, and -sflags apply to individual queries. If you specify the -lor -tflags also, the values for the -i, -r, and -sflags are applied to each iteration.
