public
class
SnmpGetRequest
public static void main( String[] args )
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( System.out );
SnmpPeer peer = new SnmpPeer( "localhost",
InetAddress.getByName(
          "10.1.40.120" ), SMI.PUBLIC );
SnmpConnection connection = new SnmpConnection
( peer );
Vector varbinds = new Vector();
for( int i=0; i<args.length; i++ )
OID oid = new OID( args[ i ] );
varbinds.addElement( oid );
try
Varbind[] result = connection.getRequest( varbinds );
if( result == null )
out.println( " There is no Response from the device " );
else
for( int i = 0; i < result.length; i++ )
     result[ i ].print( out );
     out.println();//this is where display to screen happens, and this is where i want to catch the display into a string so i can retrieve the value.
catch( SnmpException e )
out.println( e.getMessage());
out.close();
