NAME
     snmpstatus - Retrieves important information from a  network
     entity.

SYNOPSIS
     snmpstatus host [community]

DESCRIPTION
     Snmpstatus is an SNMP  application  that  retrieves  several
     important statistics from a network entity.

     The _h_o_s_t specification may be  either  a  host  name  or  an
     internet address specified in "dot notation"

     The _c_o_m_m_u_n_i_t_y specifies the community name for the  transac-
     tion with the remote system.  If this argument is not given,
     the community name will default to _p_u_b_l_i_c .

     The information returned is:

     The IP address of the entity.
     A textual description of the entity (_s_y_s_D_e_s_c_r._0)
     The uptime of the entity (_s_y_s_U_p_T_i_m_e._0)
     The sum  of  received  packets  on  all  interfaces  (_i_f_I_n_U_-
     _C_a_s_t_P_k_t_s.* + _i_f_I_n_N_U_C_a_s_t_P_k_t_s.*)
     The sum of transmitted packets on  all  interfaces  (_i_f_O_u_t_U_-
     _C_a_s_t_P_k_t_s.* + _i_f_O_u_t_N_U_C_a_s_t_P_k_t_s.*)
     The number of IP input packets (_i_p_I_n_R_e_c_e_i_v_e_s._0)
     The number of IP output packets (_i_p_O_u_t_R_e_q_u_e_s_t_s._0)

     For example

     _s_n_m_p_s_t_a_t_u_s _n_e_t_d_e_v-_k_b_o_x._c_c._c_m_u._e_d_u _p_u_b_l_i_c

     will produce output similar to the following:

     [_1_2_8._2._5_6._2_2_0]=>[_K_i_n_e_t_i_c_s _F_a_s_t_P_a_t_h_2] _U_p: _1 _d_a_y, _4:_4_3:_3_1
     _I_F _r_e_c_v/_t_r_a_n_s _p_a_c_k_e_t_s _2_6_2_8_7_4/_3_9_8_6_7 | _I_P  _r_e_c_v/_t_r_a_n_s  _p_a_c_k_e_t_s
     _3_1_6_0_3/_1_5_8_0_5

     Snmpstatus also checks the operational status of all  inter-
     faces  (ifOperStatus.*),  and  if  it finds any that are not
     running, it will report in a manner similar to this:

     _2 _i_n_t_e_r_f_a_c_e_s _a_r_e _d_o_w_n! The _h_o_s_t specification may be  either
     a  host  name or an internet address specified in "dot nota-
     tion"

     The _c_o_m_m_u_n_i_t_y specifies the community name for the  transac-
     tion  with the remote system.  If none is given, the commun-
     ity name defaults to _p_u_b_l_i_c .

SNMPSTATUS(1)            USER COMMANDS              SNMPSTATUS(1)



     If the network entity has an error  processing  the  request
     packet,  an error packet will be returned and a message will
     be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way  the  request  was
     malformed.   Snmpstatus  will attempt to reform it's request
     to eliminate the malformed variable, but this variable  will
     then be missing from the displayed data.

     Adding a "-d" to the argument list will cause  the  applica-
     tion to dump input and output packets.
