Either

snmpgetnext .... > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo Server is up

or

if snmpgetnext .... > /dev/null 2>&1
then
echo Server is up
fi

(They both work in effectively the same manner, but the second format
makes it simpler to run multiple commands).

The "> /dev/null 2>&1" is simply to throw away any output,
assuming that you're *just* interested in the success/failure of the request.
