[SNMPSTATUS(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/SNMPSTATUS/1/markdown)                                 Net-SNMP                                 [SNMPSTATUS(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/SNMPSTATUS/1/markdown)



## NAME
       snmpstatus - retrieves a fixed set of management information from a network entity

## SYNOPSIS
       **snmpstatus** [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] AGENT

## DESCRIPTION
       **snmpstatus**  is an SNMP application that retrieves several important statistics from a network
       entity.

       AGENT identifies a target SNMP agent, which is instrumented to monitor the given objects.  At
       its simplest, the AGENT specification will consist of a hostname or an IPv4 address.  In this
       situation, the command will attempt communication with the agent, using UDP/IPv4 to port  161
       of the given target host.

       See the [_snmpcmd(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/snmpcmd/1/markdown)_ manual page for a full list of the possible formats for AGENT.

       The information returned is:

              The IP address of the entity.
              A textual description of the entity (sysDescr.0)
              The uptime of the entity's SNMP agent (sysUpTime.0)
              The sum of received packets on all interfaces (ifInUCastPkts.* + ifInNUCastPkts.*)
              The  sum  of  transmitted  packets on all interfaces (ifOutUCastPkts.* + ifOutNUCastP‐
              kts.*)
              The number of IP input packets (ipInReceives.0)
              The number of IP output packets (ipOutRequests.0)

       For example:

       snmpstatus -c public -v 1 netdev-kbox.cc.cmu.edu

       will produce output similar to the following:

       [128.2.56.220]=>[Kinetics FastPath2] Up: 1 day, 4:43:31
       Interfaces: 1,  Recv/Trans packets: 262874/39867 | IP: 31603/15805

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

       2 interfaces are down!

       If the network entity has an error processing the request packet, an error packet will be re‐
       turned and a message will be shown, helping to pinpoint in what  way  the  request  was  mal‐
       formed.   **snmpstatus**  will  attempt to reform its request to eliminate the malformed variable
       (unless the **-Cf** option is given, see below), but this variable will then be missing from  the
       displayed data.

## OPTIONS
       **COMMON** **OPTIONS**
              Please  see  [_snmpcmd(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/snmpcmd/1/markdown)_  for  a  list of possible values for COMMON OPTIONS as well as
              their descriptions.

### -Cf
              quest.  In  this  situation, the command will display the data that it can. If the -Cf
              option is specified, then snmpstatus will not try to fix errors, and  the  error  will
              cause the command to terminate.
