The snmptable command retrieves the contents of an SNMP table and displays the contents in a tabular format, that is, one table row at a time, such that the resulting output resembles the table being retrieved. This is contrasted with the snmpwalk command, which displays the contents of the table one column at a time.
Here is an example of the snmptable command:
% snmptable SNMP_agent sysORTable SNMP table: SNMPv2-MIB::sysORTable sysORID sysORDescr sysORUpTime IF-MIB::ifMIB The MIB module to 0:0:00:00.01 describe generic objects SNMPv2-MIB::snmpMIB The MIB module for SNMPv2 0:0:00:00.02 for network interface entities.

UDP-MIB::udpMIB The MIB module for managing 0:0:00:00.02 RFC1213-MIB::ip The MIB module for managing 0:0:00:00.02 implementations.

SNMP-USER-BASED-SM- The management information 0:0:00:00.14 MIB::usmMIBCompliance definitions for the SNMP User-based Security Model.
In the examples of the snmptable command, the -Ci and -Cb options are used. For example, here is an snmptable command with the -Ci option:
% snmptable -Ci SNMP_agent sunPlatFanTable SNMP table: SUN-PLATFORM-MIB::sunPlatFanTable index sunPlatFanClass 10 fan 11 fan 17 fan 23 fan 29 fan 30 fan 36 fan 42 fan
Here is an example of an snmptable command without the -Ci option. Notice that the index column is not displayed:
% snmptable SNMP_agent sunPlatFanTable SNMP table: SUN-PLATFORM-MIB::sunPlatFanTable sunPlatFanClass fan fan fan fan fan
Here is an example of an snmptable command with the -Ci and -Cb options. The output is abbreviated.
% snmptable -Ci -Cb SNMP_agent entPhysicalTable index Descr VendorType ContainedIn SNMP table: ENTITY ?SNMPv2- 0 chassis -MIB::entPhysical SMI:zeroDotZero 1 Table
Here is an example of the same snmptable command with the -Ci option but without the -Cb option. Again the output is abbreviated. Notice that the name of the MIB object is repeated on each heading.
% snmptable -Ci SNMP_agent entPhysicalTable index entPhysicalDescr entPhysical entPhysical VendorType ContainedIn SNMP table: ENTITY ?SNMPv2- 0 chassis 1 -MIB::entPhysical SMI:zeroDotZero
Here is another example of an snmptable command with both the -Ci and -Cb options. Notice that the MIB object is not repeated on each heading.
% snmptable -Cb -Ci SNMP_agent ilomCtrlAlertsTable SNMP table: SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB::ilomCtrlAlertsTable in- Sever- Type Destin- Destin- SNMPVer- SNMP-Comm- Email Email dex ity ation- ation- sion unityOr- Event Event 1 criti- email ? 0.0.0.0 v1 public none none IP Email Username Class Type cal 2-15 dis- ipmi- 0.0.0.0 ? v1 public ? ? Filter Filter able pet
Thus, when you used the -Cb option with the snmptable command, the table output is easier to read.
Here is an example of an snmptable command using version 3 of the SNMP protocol:
% snmptable -Cb -Ci -mALL -v3 -aMD5 -utestuser -Apassword -lauthNoPriv SNMP_agent:port sunPlatPowerSupplyTable SNMP table: SUN-PLATFORM-MIB::sunPlatPowerSupplyTable index sunPlatPowerSupplyClass 90 powerSupply 92 powerSupply 96 powerSupply
The following snmptable command returns an empty table.
% snmptable -Cb -Ci SNMP_agent sunPlatBatteryTable SUN-PLATFORM-MIB::sunPlatBatteryTable: No entries
