snmptable(1m) System Administration Commands snmptable(1m)NAMEsnmptable - obtain and display an SNMP table
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sfw/bin/snmptable [common options] [-Cb] [-CB] [-Cb] [-Ch] [-CH]
[-Ci] [-Cf string] [-Cw width] [agent] [table-oid]
DESCRIPTION
The snmptable command is an SNMP application that repeatedly uses the
SNMP GETNEXT or GETBULK requests to query for information on a network
entity. The operand table-oid must specify an SNMP table. Both numeric
and symbolic (string) OIDs are supported.
The operand agent identifies a target SNMP agent that is instrumented
to monitor manageable objects. At its simplest, the agent specification
consists of a hostname or an IPv4 address. With such an address, the
command attempts communication with the agent, using UDP/IPv4 to port
161 of the given target host. See snmpcmd(1M) for a full list of the
possible formats for agent.
OPTIONS
See snmpcmd(1M) for a list of common options. In addition to the common
options, snmptable supports the options described below.
-Cb
Display only a brief heading. Any common prefix of the table field
names is not displayed.
-CB
Use only GETNEXT, not GETBULK, requests to retrieve data.
-Cf string
The string string is used to separate table columns. With this
option, each table entry is printed in compact form, using only the
specified string to separate the columns. This option can be useful
if you intend to import the table into a database. Without this
option, the table is displayed in vertically aligned columns.
-Ch
Display only the column headings.
-CH
Do not display the column headings or the table name. Only raw data
is displayed.
-Ci
Prepends the index of the entry to all printed lines.
-Cw width
Specifies the width of the lines when the table is printed. If a
line is longer than width, lines are truncated to fit within width.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Retrieving an SNMP Table
The following commands retrieve two-column SNMP tables.
% snmptable-v 2c -c public localhost at.atTable
SNMP table: at.atTable RFC1213-MIB::atTable
atIfIndex atPhysAddress atNetAddress
1 8:0:20:20:0:ab 130.225.243.33
% snmptable-v 2c -c public -Cf + localhost at.atTable
SNMP table: at.atTable
atIfIndex+atPhysAddress+atNetAddress
1+8:0:20:20:0:ab+130.225.243.33
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion.
1 A usage syntax error. A usage message is displayed. Also used
for timeout errors.
2 An error occurred while executing the command. An error mes‐
sage is displayed.

The test for table-oid actually specifying a table is not perfect. Note
also that the test requires the defining MIB file to be loaded.
