Query HP switch for SNMP contact information, anyone know how??

[Davit2005]

We have 500+ HP switches on campus and need to extract the snmp-server contact field from all of them.

 

Having a good googlefoo about this to see if I can query switches directly but not much luck. I could extract the info from backups if it comes down to it.

 

Any other ideas??

Could you use a Putty script (putty -m "file_with_command_to_display_snmp") maybe with (batch) output redirected to a log file?

It seems I can only get snmp-server contact from running config, tried manually there seems to be no way of getting contact out unless I'm missing something.

"show system information" gets you a much shorter output that still contains the contact details.
