AUTHOR

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $l3 = new SNMP::Info(
                         AutoSpecify => 1,
                         Debug       => 1,
                         DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                         Community   => 'public',
                         Version     => 2
                       )
   or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";
my $class = $l3->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";
# Let's get some basic Port information
my $interfaces = $l3->interfaces();
my $i_up       = $l3->i_up();
my $i_speed    = $l3->i_speed();
foreach my $iid (keys %$interfaces) {
   my $port  = $interfaces->{$iid};
   my $up    = $i_up->{$iid};
   my $speed = $i_speed->{$iid}
   print "Port $port is $up. Port runs at $speed.\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

This class is usually used as a superclass for more specific device classes listed under SNMP::Info::Layer3::* Please read all docs under SNMP::Info first.

Provides generic methods for accessing SNMP data for Layer 3 network devices. Includes support for Layer2+3 devices.

For speed or debugging purposes you can call the subclass directly, but not after determining a more specific class using the method above.

TABLE METHODS

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

Overrides

$l3->interfaces()

Returns the map between SNMP Interface Identifier (iid) and physical port name.

Only returns those iids that have a description listed in $l3->i_description()

$l3->i_subinterfaces()

Returns reference to hash of arrays: key = ifIndex, value = array of ifIndex. These are the VLAN subinterfaces (l2vlan type) for the parent (ethernetCsmacd type) interface.


            

              
              
Example:
my $interfaces = $l3->interfaces();
my $i_subs     = $l3->i_subinterfaces();
foreach my $iid (sort keys %$interfaces) {
  my $port = $interfaces->{$iid};
  my $subs = join(',', sort(map {$interfaces->{$_}} @{$i_subs->{$iid}}));
  print "Port: $port has subinterfaces: $subs\n";
}
$l3->i_name()

Returns reference to hash of iid to human set name.

Defaults to ifName, but checks for an ifAlias

$l3->i_duplex()

Returns reference to hash of iid to current link duplex setting.

Maps $l3->el_index() to $l3->el_duplex, then culls out full,half, or auto and sets the map to that value.

See SNMP::Info::EtherLike for the el_index() and el_duplex() methods.

IP-MIB Arp Cache Table (ipNetToMediaTable)

$l3->at_index()

Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to Interface IIDs

(ipNetToMediaIfIndex)

If the device doesn't support ipNetToMediaIfIndex, this will try the deprecated atIfIndex.

$l3->at_paddr()

Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to MAC addresses.

(ipNetToMediaPhysAddress)

If the device doesn't support ipNetToMediaPhysAddress, this will try the deprecated atPhysAddress.

$l3->at_netaddr()

Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to IP addresses.

(ipNetToMediaNetAddress)

If the device doesn't support ipNetToMediaNetAddress, this will try the deprecated atNetAddress.

ARP Cache Entries

The atTable has been deprecated since 1991. You should never need to use these methods. See ipNetToMediaTable above.

$l3->old_at_index()

Returns reference to map of IID to Arp Cache Entry

(atIfIndex)

$l3->old_at_paddr()

Returns reference to hash of Arp Cache Entries to MAC address
