title: SNMP OID for getting manufacturer serial number with SNMP version 1
body: <p>I'm unable to get the manufacturer serial number when I do an SNMP get on an OID <code>.2.47.1.1.1.1.11.1.0</code>. If I do an <code>snmpget</code> with the below command on the OID with the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>snmpget -v1 -c public 192.168.4.99 .2.47.1.1.1.1.11.1.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.<br>
    Failed object: joint-iso-ccitt.47.1.1.1.1.11.1.0</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I did search on google for the possible cause of error by going to this SO <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17444248/reason-nosuchname-there-is-no-such-variable-name-in-this-mib">thread</a> as it is caused by missing the instance subidentifier.</p>
  
  <p>I performed an SNMPtranslate for the OID and I got the below string <code>joint-iso-ccitt.47.1.1.1.1.11.1.0</code>.</p>
  
  <p>And when I performed an <code>snmpwalk</code> on the OID by the below command i get the message as <code>END OF MIB</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>snmpwalk -v1 -c public 192.168.4.1 .2.47.1.1.1.1.11.1.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know where I'm going wrong and let me know the exact generic OID to get the manufacturers serial number.</p>
