Which command would you use to view a network device's status using SNMP?

The correct choice for viewing a network device's status using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is to use the command 'snmpwalk'. This command is designed to retrieve a subtree of management values using SNMP, which typically allows you to gather comprehensive data from a device.

When you execute 'snmpwalk', it requests a series of values from a specified SNMP agent (the network device) at the given Object Identifier (OID). This makes it particularly useful for exploring the various parameters associated with a network device, such as performance metrics or interface statistics. It continues to retrieve an entire set of data until there are no more values to return, which gives you a broad view of the device's status.

In contrast, 'snmpget' is used for retrieving a single value associated with a specific OID, making it less suitable for getting an overview of the device's status. 'snmpset' is utilized for writing data to an SNMP-enabled device, allowing for configuration changes rather than status querying. 'snmpstatus' is not a standard command within the SNMP toolset and may lead to confusion, as it does not exist in typical SNMP implementations.

Thus, 'snmpwalk' is the
