+.SH NAME
+snmpnetstat \- display networking status and configuration information from a network entity via SNMP
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B snmpnetstat
+[common options] [-Ca] [-Cn] AGENT
+.br
+.B snmpnetstat
+[common options] [-Ci] [-Co] [-Cr] [-Cn] [-Cs] AGENT
+.br
+.B snmpnetstat
+[common options] [-Ci] [-Cn] [-CI interface] AGENT [interval]
+.br
+.B snmpnetstat
+[common options] [-Ca] [-Cn] [-Cs] [-Cp protocol] AGENT
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B 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
+.I interval
+specified,
+.I snmpnetstat
+will continuously display the information regarding packet
+traffic on the configured network interfaces.
+The fourth form displays statistics about the named protocol.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+The options have the following meaning:
+.PP
+.B common options
+ Please see
+.I snmpcmd(1)
+for a list of possible values for common options
+as well as their descriptions.
+.PP
+.B \-Ca
+With the default display,
+show the state of all sockets; normally sockets used by
+server processes are not shown.
+.PP
+.B \-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.
+.PP
+.B \-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.
+.PP
+.BI \-CI " interface"
+Show information only about this interface;
+used with an
+.I interval
+as described below.
+.PP
+.B \-Cn
+Show network addresses as numbers (normally
+.I snmpnetstat
+interprets addresses and attempts to display them
+symbolically).
+This option may be used with any of the display formats.
+.PP
+.BI \-Cp " protocol"
+Show statistics about
+.IR 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
+.IR /etc/protocols .
+A null response typically means that there are no interesting numbers to
+report.
+The program will complain if
+.I protocol
+is unknown or if there is no statistics routine for it.
+.PP
+.B \-Cs
+Show per-protocol statistics. When used with the
+.B \-Cr
+option, show routing statistics instead.
+.PP
+.B \-Cr
+Show the routing tables.
+When
+.B \-Cs
+is also present, show per-protocol routing statistics instead of
+the routing tables.
+.PP
+When snmpnetstat is invoked with an interval argument, it
+displays a running count of statistics related to network
+interfaces.
+.I interval
+is the number of seconds between
+reporting of statistics.
+.PP
+.I The Active Sockets Display (default)
+.PP
+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 data bases
+.I /etc/hosts and
+.IR /etc/networks,
+respectively. If a symbolic name for an
+address is unknown, or if the
+.B \-Cn
+option is specified, the
+address is printed numerically, according to the address
+family. For more information regarding the Internet ``dot
+format,'' refer to
+.IR inet(3N).
+Unspecified, or ``wildcard'', addresses and ports appear as ``*''.
+.PP
+.I The Interface Display
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+.I The Routing Table Display
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+.I The Interface Display with an Interval
+.PP
+When
+.I snmpnetstat
+is invoked with an
+.I 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
+.B \-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.
+.PP
+.I The Active Sockets Display for a
+.I Single Protocol
+.PP
+When a protocol is specified with the
+.B \-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.
