NAME

       snmpnetstat  -  display  networking  status  and  configuration information from a network
       entity via SNMP

SYNOPSIS

       snmpnetstat [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Ca] [-Cn] [-Cv] [-Cf address_family] AGENT
       snmpnetstat [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cr] [-Cn] [-Cv] [-Cf address_family] AGENT
       snmpnetstat [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Ci] [-C o |  b  |  d]  [-Cn]  [-Cv]  [-CI  interface]  [-Cw
       interval] AGENT
       snmpnetstat [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cs[s]] [-Cp protocol] AGENT

DESCRIPTION

       The  snmpnetstat  command  symbolically  displays  the  values  of various network-related
       information retrieved from a remote system using the SNMP protocol.  There are a number of
       output formats, depending on the options for the information presented.  The first form of
       the command displays a list of active sockets.  The second form  presents  the  values  of
       other network-related information according to the option selected.  Using the third form,
       with  an  interval  specified,  snmpnetstat  will  continuously  display  the  information
       regarding  packet  traffic on the configured network interfaces.  The fourth form displays
       statistics about the named protocol.

       snmpnetstat will issue GETBULK requests to query for  information  if  at  least  protocol
       version v2 is used.

       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 snmpcmd(1) for a full list of the possible  formats
       for AGENT.

OPTIONS

       The options have the following meaning:

       COMMON OPTIONS
        Please  see  snmpcmd(1) for a list of possible values for common options as well as their
       descriptions.

       -CL use the legacy  SNMP  MIB  elements,  not  the  modern  IP  version  agnostic  tables.
       snmpnetstat   will automatically fall back to the legacy tables if the modern ones are not
       available.

       -Ca With the default display, show the state of all  sockets;  normally  sockets  used  by
       server processes are not shown.

       -Cf address_family Only show entries for the selected address family (inet, inet6)

       -Ci  Show  the  state  of all of the network interfaces.  The interface display provides a
       table of cumulative statistics regarding packets transferred, errors, and collisions.  The
       network  addresses  of  the interface and the maximum transmission unit (``mtu'') are also
       displayed.

       -Cd Add dropped packets to the interface display.

       -Cb Show an extended interface status, giving octets in addition to packets.

       -Co Show an abbreviated interface status, giving octets in  place  of  packets.   This  is
       useful when enquiring virtual interfaces (such as Frame-Relay circuits) on a router.

       -CI  interface  Show  information  only  about  this  interface;  used with an interval as
       described below.

       -Cn Show network addresses as  numbers  (normally  snmpnetstat  interprets  addresses  and
       attempts  to  display them symbolically).  This option may be used with any of the display
       formats.

       -Cv Allow long host or service names to break the columnar output.   This  option  may  be
       used with any of the display formats.

       -Cp  protocol  Show  statistics  about  protocol,  which is either a well-known name for a
       protocol or an alias for it.  Some protocol names and  aliases  are  listed  in  the  file
       /etc/protocols.   A null response typically means that there are no interesting numbers to
       report.  The program will complain if protocol is unknown or if  there  is  no  statistics
       routine for it.

       -Cs  Show  per-protocol statistics.  If this is duplicated (-Css) statistics entries which
       are zero will be suppressed.

       -Cr Show the routing tables.

       -CR repeaters For GETBULK requests, repeaters specifies the max-repeaters value to use.

       When snmpnetstat is invoked with an interval argument, it  displays  a  running  count  of
       statistics  related  to  network  interfaces.   interval  is the number of seconds between
       reporting of statistics.

       The Active Sockets Display (default)

       The default display, for active sockets, shows the local and remote  addresses,  protocol,
       and  the internal state of the protocol.  Address formats are of the form ``host.port'' or
       ``network.port'' if a socket's address specifies a network but no specific  host  address.
       When  known,  the  host  and network addresses are displayed symbolically according to the
       databases /etc/hosts and /etc/networks, respectively.  If a symbolic name for  an  address
       is  unknown,  or  if  the  -Cn  option  is  specified, the address is printed numerically,
       according to the address family.   For  more  information  regarding  the  Internet  ``dot
       format,''  refer to inet(3N).  Unspecified, or ``wildcard'', addresses and ports appear as
       ``*''.

       The Interface Display

       The interface  display  provides  a  table  of  cumulative  statistics  regarding  packets
       transferred,  errors,  and  col-  lisions.  The network addresses of the interface and the
       maximum transmission unit (``mtu'') are also displayed.

       The Routing Table Display

       The routing table display indicates the available routes and  their  status.   Each  route
       consists  of  a  destination host or network and a gateway to use in forwarding pack- ets.
       The flags field shows the state of the route (``U'' if ``up''), whether the route is to  a
       gateway  (``G''),  whether  the  route  was created dynamically by a redirect (``D''), and
       whether the route has been modified by a redirect (``M'').  Direct routes are created  for
       each  interface  attached  to the local host; the gateway field for such entries shows the
       address of the outgoing inter- face.  The interface entry indicates the network  interface
       utilized for the route.

       The Interface Display with an Interval

       When  snmpnetstat  is  invoked  with  an interval argument, it displays a running count of
       statistics related to network interfaces.  This display  consists  of  a  column  for  the
       primary  interface  and  a column summarizing information for all interfaces.  The primary
       interface may be replaced with another interface with the -CI option.  The first  line  of
       each  screen  of  information  contains  a  summary  since  the  system was last rebooted.
       Subsequent lines of output show values accumulated over the preceding interval.

       The Active Sockets Display for a Single Protocol

       When a protocol is specified with the -Cp option, the information displayed is similar  to
       that in the default display for active sockets, except the display is limited to the given
       protocol.
