SNMP::Info::Layer2::Baystack - SNMP Interface to Avaya Ethernet Switch (Baystack) and VSP 7000 series switches
Eric Miller
# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you. my $baystack = new SNMP::Info( AutoSpecify => 1, Debug => 1, DestHost => 'myswitch', Community => 'public', Version => 2 ) or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n"; my $class = $baystack->class(); print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";
Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from an Avaya Ethernet Switch (formerly Nortel/Bay Baystack) and VSP 7000 series through SNMP.
For speed or debugging purposes you can call the subclass directly, but not after determining a more specific class using the method above.
my $baystack = new SNMP::Info::Layer2::Baystack(...);

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP
Returns 'avaya'
Cross references $baystack->id() to the SYNOPTICS-MIB and returns the results. 303s and 304s have the same ID, so we have a hack to return depending on which it is.
Returns BPS for Business Policy Switch
For others extracts and returns the switch numeric designation.
Returns 'baystack' or 'boss' depending on software version.
Returns the firmware version extracted from sysDescr.
sysDescr
Required by SNMP::Info::SONMP. Number representing the number of ports reserved per slot within the device MIB.
Index factor on the Baystack switches are determined by the formula: Index Factor = 64 if (model = 470 or (os eq 'boss' and operating in pure mode)) or else Index factor = 32.
Returns either 32 or 64 based upon the formula.

See "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::RapidCity for details.
See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::LLDP for details.
See "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for details.
These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.
Returns reference to the map between IID and physical Port.
Slot and port numbers on the Baystack switches are determined by the formula: port = (Interface index % Index factor) slot = (int(Interface index / Index factor)) + Slot offset The physical port name is returned as slot.port.
Returns reference to hash of IIDs to ignore.
Returns the ifPhysAddress table entries.
ifPhysAddress
Removes all entries matching '00:00:00:00:00:00' -- Certain revisions of Baystack firmware report all zeros for each port mac.
Crosses ifName with ifAlias and returns the human set port name if exists.
ifName
ifAlias
Maps the pethPsePortTable to ifIndex by way of the ENTITY-MIB.
pethPsePortTable
ifIndex
Power supplied by PoE ports, in milliwatts
(bspePethPsePortExtMeasuredPower)
bspePethPsePortExtMeasuredPower
For older devices which do not support ENTITY-MIB, these methods emulate Physical Table methods using S5-CHASSIS-MIB. See "TABLE METHODS" in SNMP::Info::NortelStack for details on ns_e_* methods.
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalDescr, this will try ns_e_index(). Note that this is based on entPhysicalDescr due to implementation details of SNMP::Info::Entity::e_index().
entPhysicalDescr
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalClass, this will try ns_e_class().
entPhysicalClass
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalDescr, this will try ns_e_descr().
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalName, this will try ns_e_name().
entPhysicalName
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalFirmwareRev, this will try ns_e_fwver().
entPhysicalFirmwareRev
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalHardwareRev, this will try ns_e_hwver().
entPhysicalHardwareRev
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalContainedIn, this will try ns_e_parent().
entPhysicalContainedIn
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalParentRelPos, this will try ns_e_pos().
entPhysicalParentRelPos
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalSerialNum, this will try ns_e_serial().
entPhysicalSerialNum
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalSoftwareRev, this will try ns_e_swver().
entPhysicalSoftwareRev
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalVendorType, this will try ns_e_type().
entPhysicalVendorType
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalMfgName, this will try ns_e_vendor().
entPhysicalMfgName
