  For instance:

snmpwalk -c public -v 2c 192.168.1.208 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux pep 2.6.21.7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu

snmpwalk -c public -v 2c 192.168.1.208 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux pep 2.6.21.7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu
Mar 17 11:29:27 EDT 2011 mips

snmpget -c public -v 2c 192.168.1.208 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID

snmpget -c public -v 2c 192.168.1.208 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux pep 2.6.21.7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu
