NAME
PDK::Concern::Netdisco::Cisco - Explore and manage CDP topology for Cisco devices
SYNOPSIS
use PDK::Concern::Netdisco::Cisco;
my $cisco_device = PDK::Device::Cisco->new(...);
my $netdisco = PDK::Concern::Netdisco::Cisco->new(device => $cisco_device);
my $result = $netdisco->explore_topology();DESCRIPTION
PDK::Concern::Netdisco::Cisco provides functionality to explore CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) topology for Cisco devices and generate interface descriptions based on the discovered neighbors. This module is designed to work with Cisco network devices and automate the process of updating interface descriptions based on CDP information.
METHODS
new(device => $cisco_device)
Creates a new instance of the PDK::Concern::Netdisco::Cisco class.
device
A required parameter. Must be an instance of PDK::Device::Cisco.
my $netdisco = PDK::Concern::Netdisco::Cisco->new(device => $cisco_device);explore_topology()
Explores the CDP topology of the device and generates interface descriptions.
Returns a hashref with the result of executing the generated commands.
my $result = $netdisco->explore_topology();
if ($result->{success}) {
print "Topology exploration and interface description update successful.\n";
} else {
print "Failed: " . $result->{reason} . "\n";
}gen_iface_desc($topology_data)
Generates interface description commands based on the provided topology data.
$topology_data
An arrayref containing the raw CDP neighbor information.
Returns an array of configuration commands.
my @topology_data = $device->get_cdp_data();
my @commands = $netdisco->gen_iface_desc(\@topology_data);refine_if($name)
Refines the interface name by standardizing various interface name formats.
$name
The original interface name to be refined.
Returns the refined interface name.
my $refined_name = $netdisco->refine_if('GigabitEthernet1/0/1');
# Returns: 'GE1/0/1'DEPENDENCIES
