.SH NAME
snmptable - retrieve an SNMP table and display it in tabular form
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B snmptable
[COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cb] [-CB] [-Ch] [-CH] [-Ci] [-Cf STRING] [-Cw WIDTH]
AGENT TABLE-OID
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B snmptable
is an SNMP application that repeatedly uses the SNMP GETNEXT or
GETBULK requests to query for information on a network entity.  The
parameter
.I TABLE-OID
must specify an SNMP table.
.PP
snmptable is an SNMP application that repeatedly uses the
SNMP GETNEXT or GETBULK requests to query for  information
on a network entity.  The parameter TABLE-OID must specify
an SNMP table.

AGENT identifies a target SNMP agent, which is instrumented
to monitor the gievn 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
.I  snmpcmd(1)
for a full list of
the possible formats for AGENT.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 8
.B COMMON OPTIONS
Please see
.I snmpcmd(1)
for a list of possible values for COMMON OPTIONS
as well as their descriptions.
.TP
.B -Cb
Display only a brief heading. Any common prefix of the table field
names will be deleted.
.TP 
.B -CB
Do not use GETBULK requests to retrieve data, only GETNEXT.
.TP 
.BI -Cc " CHARS"
Print table in columns of
.I CHARS
characters width.
.TP
.BI -Cf " STRING"
The string
.I STRING
is used to separate table columns.  With this option, each table entry
will be printed in compact form, just with the string given to
separate the columns (useful if you want to import it into a
database).  Otherwise it is printed in nicely aligned columns.
.TP
.B -Ch
Display
.I only
the column headings.
.TP
.B -CH
Do not display the column headings.
.TP
.B -Ci
This option prepends the index of the entry to all printed lines.
.TP
.B -Cl
Left justify the data in each column.
.TP 
.BI -Cr " REPEATERS"
For GETBULK requests, 
.I REPEATERS
specifies the max-repeaters value to use.  For GETNEXT requests,
.I REPEATERS
specifies the number of entries to retrieve at a time.
.TP 
.BI -Cw " WIDTH"
Specifies the width of the lines when the table is printed.
If the lines will be longer, the table will be printed in sections of
at most 
.I WIDTH 
characters.  If
.I WIDTH
is less than the length of the contents of
a single column, then that single column will still be printed.
.PP
Note that
.B snmptable
REQUIRES  an argument specifying the agent to query
and exactly one OID argument, as described in the 
.I snmpcmd(1)
manual page.  This OID \fBmust\fP be that of a MIB table object.

.PP
.SH "BUGS"
The test for
.I TABLE-OID
actually specifying a table is rather heuristic.  Note also that the
test requires the defining MIB file to be loaded.
