GETBULK Operation

async pysnmp.hlapi.v1arch.asyncio.bulk_cmd(snmpDispatcher: SnmpDispatcher, authData: CommunityData, transportTarget: AbstractTransportTarget, nonRepeaters: int, maxRepetitions: int, *varBinds: ObjectType, **options) → tuple[ErrorIndication | None, Integer32 | str | int | None, Integer32 | int | None, tuple[ObjectType, ...]]

Creates a generator to perform SNMP GETBULK query.

When iterator gets advanced by asyncio main loop, SNMP GETBULK request is send (RFC 1905 Section 4.2.3). The iterator yields asyncio.Future which gets done whenever response arrives or error occurs.

Parameters:

  • snmpDispatcher (SnmpDispatcher) – Class instance representing asynio-based asynchronous event loop and associated state information.

  • authData (CommunityData) – Class instance representing SNMPv2c credentials. (SNMPv1 / mpModel=0 is not allowed)

  • transportTarget (UdpTransportTarget or) – Udp6TransportTarget Class instance representing transport type along with SNMP peer address.

  • nonRepeaters (int) – One MIB variable is requested in response for the first nonRepeaters MIB variables in request.

  • maxRepetitions (int) – maxRepetitions MIB variables are requested in response for each of the remaining MIB variables in the request (e.g. excluding nonRepeaters). Remote SNMP engine may choose lesser value than requested.

  • *varBinds (tuple of OID-value pairs or ObjectType) – One or more class instances representing MIB variables to place into SNMP request.

Other Parameters:

**options – Request options:

  • lookupMib - load MIB and resolve response MIB variables at the cost of slightly reduced performance. Default is False, unless ObjectType is present among varBinds in which case lookupMib gets automatically enabled.

Yields:

  • errorIndication (str) – True value indicates SNMP engine error.

  • errorStatus (str) – True value indicates SNMP PDU error.

  • errorIndex (int) – Non-zero value refers to varBinds[errorIndex-1]

  • varBindTable (tuple) – A flat sequence of variables returned in the SNMP GETBULK response. If lookupMib is True, elements are ObjectType instances; otherwise they are OID-value pairs of base types. The order is the raw wire order: first the non-repeaters (at most one each), then up to maxRepetitions groups of the repeaters in request order.

    The maximum length is nonRepeaters + maxRepetitions * (len(varBinds) - nonRepeaters), but the agent may return fewer items (e.g., due to endOfMibView or truncation).

    See RFC 3416 Section 4.2.3 for details on the underlying GetBulkRequest-PDU and the associated GetResponse-PDU.

Raises:

PySnmpError – Or its derivative indicating that an error occurred while performing SNMP operation.
