Check out 'snmpwalk', bundled with (at least) RedHat Linux.

I've been thinking about how nice it would be to have nmap produce
machine-readable output that could be then fed into other programs
such as snmpwalk, rpcinfo, nfsbug, nat, etc. Let nmap do the work of
finding the open ports; let specialized apps do the work of finding
the bugs. It's the UNIX way...
