16 !!DESCRIPTION
17
18
19 Snmpstatus is an SNMP application that retrieves several
20 important statistics from a network entity.
21
22
23 The ''host'' specification may be either a host name or
24 an internet address specified in
25 ''
26
27
28 The ''community'' specifies the community name for the
29 transaction with the remote system. If this argument is not
30 given, the community name will default to ''public
31 .''
32
33
34 The information returned is:
35
36
37 The IP address of the entity.
38 A textual description of the entity ''(sysDescr.0)''
39 The uptime of the entity ''(sysUpTime.0)''
40 The sum of received packets on all interfaces
41 ''(ifInUCastPkts.* + ifInNUCastPkts.*)''
42 The sum of transmitted packets on all interfaces
43 ''(ifOutUCastPkts.* + ifOutNUCastPkts.*)''
44 The number of IP input packets ''(ipInReceives.0)''
45 The number of IP output packets
46 ''(ipOutRequests.0)''
47
48
49 For example
50
51
52 ''snmpstatus netdev-kbox.cc.cmu.edu public''
53
54
55 will produce output similar to the following:
56
57
58 ''[[128.2.56.220]=
59 ''
60 IF recv/trans packets 262874/39867 | IP recv/trans packets
61 31603/15805''
62
63
64 Snmpstatus also checks the operational status of all
65 interfaces (ifOperStatus.*), and if it finds any that are
66 not running, it will report in a manner similar to
67 this:
68
69
70 ''2 interfaces are down!'' The ''host'' specification
71 may be either a host name or an internet address specified
72 in ''
73
74
75 The ''community'' specifies the community name for the
76 transaction with the remote system. If none is given, the
77 community name defaults to ''public .''
78
79
80 If the network entity has an error processing the request
81 packet, an error packet will be returned and a message will
82 be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way the request was
83 malformed. Snmpstatus will attempt to reform it's request to
84 eliminate the malformed variable, but this variable will
85 then be missing from the displayed data.
