SYNOPSIS

# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $scalance = new SNMP::Info(
                         AutoSpecify => 1,
                         Debug       => 1,
                         DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                         Community   => 'public',
                         Version     => 2
                       )
   or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

my $class      = $scalance->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";

Change Log

GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

$scalance->layers()

Overwrite snmp value, we support 1-3

$scalance->os()

Returns scalance

$scalance->vendor()

Returns siemens

$scalance->model()

extract a meaningful name from description

$scalance->mac()

use the dot1dBaseBridgeAddress

$scalance->os_ver()

clean up os_version string

$scalance->i_description()

siemens returns a description including firmware, switch serial, etc clean it up. Try to use anything past VLAN or Port. And if this fails past the last comma

TABLE METHODS

These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.

Overrides

$scalance->lldp_ip()

Returns reference to hash. Key: LLDP remote index, value: neighbor IPv4 address.

Uses the management address the neighbor advertises (lldpRemManAddrTable). Earlier firmware advertises none, so the neighbor's system name (lldpRemSysName) is resolved through DNS instead. A neighbor with a MAC chassis ID that neither gives an address returns 0.0.0.0, which callers can resolve by looking up c_id().
