## EXAMPLES

Run an inventory against a network device, using SNMP version 2c authentication:

```
    $> fusioninventory-netinventory --host 192.168.0.1 \
    --credentials version:2c,community:public
```

Run an inventory against a network device, using SNMP version 3 authentication and forcing its type:

```
    $> fusioninventory-netinventory --host my.device --type NETWORKING \
    --credentials version:3,username:admin,authprotocol:sha,authpassword:s3cr3t
```
