If you're just trying to extract configuration bits, check out 
snmpwalk.  You'll need to know (at the very least) the read community 
name for the device.

Incidentally, enabling snmp on a Linux box and then using snmpwalk and 
paging through the results can be a really enlightening experience.  
Most of my experience is with Red Hat.  snmpwalk will actually tell you 
all the RPM's installed on a box (among many MANY other things).

If you want to get fancy along the lines of monitoring, check out mrtg. 
 To get REALLY fancy check out OpenNMS.
