SNMP::Info::Entity - SNMP Interface to data stored in ENTITY-MIB. RFC 2737
Max Baker
# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you. my $entity = new SNMP::Info( AutoSpecify => 1, Debug => 1, DestHost => 'myswitch', Community => 'public', Version => 2 ) or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n"; my $class = $entity->class(); print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";
ENTITY-MIB is used by Layer 2 devices from Brocade, Cisco, HP, and more.
See RFC 2737 for full details.
Create or use a device subclass that inherit this class. Do not use directly.
For debugging purposes you can call this class directly as you would SNMP::Info
my $entity = new SNMP::Info::Entity (...);
none.
