       -v (--snmp_version)  1 for SNMP v1 (default)
                            2 for SNMP v2c
                            SNMP v2c will use get_bulk for less overhead

       -U (--secname)    username for SNMPv3 context
       -c (--context)    SNMPv3 context name (default is empty string)
       -A (--authpass)   authentication password (cleartext ascii or localized key
                         in hex with 0x prefix generated by using "snmpkey" utility
                         auth password and authEngineID
       -a (--authproto)  Authentication protocol (MD5 or SHA1)
       -X (--privpass)   privacy password (cleartext ascii or localized key
                         in hex with 0x prefix generated by using "snmpkey" utility
                         privacy password and authEngineID
       -P (--privproto)  privacy protocol (DES or AES; default: DES)
       -k (--key)        SNMP IfIndex value
       -d (--descr)      SNMP ifDescr value
       -T (--type)       SNMP ifType integer value (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaiftype-mib)
       -p (--port)       SNMP port (default 161)
       -I (--ifmib)      Agent supports IFMIB ifXTable. Do not use if
                         you don't know what this is. 
       -n (--name)       the value should match the returned ifName
                         (Implies the use of -I)
       -w (--warn =i|w|c) ignore|warn|crit if the interface is dormant (default critical)
       -D (--admin-down =i|w|c) same for administratively down interfaces (default warning)
       -M (--maxmsgsize) Max message size - useful only for v1 or v2c
       -t (--timeout)    seconds before the plugin times out (default=15)
       -V (--version)    Plugin version
       -h (--help)       usage help 

     -k or -d or -T must be specified

    Note: either -k or -d or -T must be specified and -d and -T are much more network 
    intensive.  Use it sparingly or not at all.  -n is used to match against
    a much more descriptive ifName value in the IfXTable to verify that the
    snmpkey has not changed to some other network interface after a reboot.
