Your software should be setup to do the poling for snmp queries. A packet analyzer will 
only passively capture whats on the line and display it.
You snmp software should have the responsibility of storing/displaying the results of polling.

I am not sure to what extent ethereal supports SNMP.

I have a server on my network that has an application that produces SNMP, I also have a MIB for that application.
Can I probe that server for those SNMP values with Ethereal or is 
Ethereal designed just to interpret the SNMP values that are leaving 
the machine it is running on?
Thanks.
