Net::Packet::CDP - Cisco Discovery Protocol layer 4 object

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:cdp);
require Net::Packet::CDP;
# Build a layer
my $layer = Net::Packet::CDP->new(
   version  => 2,
   ttl      => 180,
   checksum => 0,
);
$layer->pack;
print 'RAW: '.unpack('H*', $layer->raw)."\n";
# Read a raw layer
my $layer = Net::Packet::CDP->new(raw => $raw);
print $layer->print."\n";
print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
   if $layer->payload;
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the Cisco Discovery Protocol layer.

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer4 for other attributes and methods.

ATTRIBUTES

version - 8 bits

ttl - 8 bits

checksum - 16 bits

typeDeviceId

typeAddresses

typePortId

typeCapabilities

typeSoftwareVersion

All these type attributes keep a pointer to the respective object. That is, for typeDeviceId, you have a pointer to a Net::Packet::CDP::TypeDeviceId object, if applicable.

METHODS

new

Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. Default values:

version: 2

ttl: 180

checksum: 0

pack

Packs all attributes into a raw format, in order to inject to network. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.

unpack

Unpacks raw data from network and stores attributes into the object. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.

CONSTANTS

Load them: use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:cdp);

NP_CDP_HDR_LEN

CDP header length.

NP_CDP_TYPE_DEVICE_ID

NP_CDP_TYPE_ADDRESSES

NP_CDP_TYPE_PORT_ID

NP_CDP_TYPE_DUPLEX

NP_CDP_TYPE_VOIP_VLAN_REPLY

NP_CDP_TYPE_TRUST_BITMAP

NP_CDP_TYPE_UNTRUSTED_PORT_COS

NP_CDP_TYPE_SYSTEM_NAME
