I'm sending a request to the broadcast address of the network using snmpget to get the status of all the devices connected to the network

snmpget -v 2c -c public 255.255.255.255 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

and this OID gives me the information of my system

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux harry-aspire-e5-572g 4.15.0-39-generic #42~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 24 17:09:54 UTC 2018 x86_64

Now, the other device's information connected to the network doesn't show up using snmpget broadcast request but the request is logged on that device's system logs of receiving the snmpget request.

I don't wish to use a third party tool like nmap.

  • What is the SNMP Agent in use? Can you configure it to respond to broadcast requests? There's not enough information here to answer. – Lightness Races in Orbit Dec 04 '18 at 10:48
  • I'm using net-snmp for the purpose and yes I've enabled the flag for sending broadcast request – Haripal Baluja Dec 04 '18 at 17:45
  • When I send the broadcast request on the network, from my snmp-manager, I get the details of only one device connected to the network on the terminal, while there are other devices on the network whose information I don't get via snmpget broadcast request but on checking the log files of the other devices, these devices were pinged by the snmp-manager for the discovery purpose – Haripal Baluja Dec 04 '18 at 17:48
