I’ve found great use out of some of the snmpwalk command options. First, walk the oid by name (as you have) so you can tell what is what:

 

[root@ltm1:Active:Standalone] config  snmpwalk -v 2c -c f5dc localhost F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatusAvailState
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatusAvailState."/Common/10.10.10.1" = INTEGER: blue(4)
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatusAvailState."/Common/my.host.com" = INTEGER: blue(4)
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatusAvailState."/Common/10.43.190.50" = INTEGER: blue(4)

 

then use the “-On” option to reveal the numeric oid for you, and you can do a line by line compare to pull out the appropriate oidstrings you will use.

 

[root@ltm1:Active:Standalone] config  snmpwalk -v 2c -c f5dc -On localhost F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatusAvailState
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.4.3.2.1.3.18.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.49.48.46.49.48.46.49.48.46.49 = INTEGER: blue(4)
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.4.3.2.1.3.19.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.109.121.46.104.111.115.116.46.99.111.109 = INTEGER: blue(4)
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.4.3.2.1.3.20.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.49.48.46.52.51.46.49.57.48.46.53.48 = INTEGER: blue(4)

 

snmptranslate is your friend as well, though with oids with quotes in them, you will need to escape them:

 

[root@ltm1:Active:Standalone] config  snmptranslate -On F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatusAvailState.\"/Common/10.10.10.1\"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.4.3.2.1.3.18.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.49.48.46.49.48.46.49.48.46.49
