The script does not work when I try to check the number of up ports on a 48 port Netgear switch. The command line I am using is
check_switch -h <ip> -c <community> -n 48 -o u -s ports

It gives the following error:
Error in packet Reason: (tooBig) Response message would have been too large. CRITICAL - Problem with SNMP request, check user/password/host

In fact, any number greater than equal to 40 with -n gives the above error. If I use 39 or less, the script works.

Allow to check specific port, return the states:

• unknown if status is '4'
• ok if status is '1'
• warning if status is '3'
• critical for all other statuses

Probably some variable overflow …

Currently the state of the first checked port returning a non-OK state is returned, even if a later check return a more serious state.

The time returned by the single port and ports check is neither the total device uptime, nor the time since the last state-switch, nor anything other that could be explained logically …

Either fix or remove it

Instead of showing a list of all ports sorted by port number

If there is a/are port(s) with warning or critical state(s) this/these should be on top of the output
