NAME

SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aruba - SNMP Interface to Aruba wireless switches

AUTHOR

Eric Miller

SYNOPSIS

    my $aruba = new SNMP::Info(
			  AutoSpecify => 1,
			  Debug       => 1,
			  DestHost    => 'myswitch',
			  Community   => 'public',
			  Version     => 2
			) 

    or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

    my $class = $aruba->class();
    print " Using device sub class : $class\n";

DESCRIPTION

SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aruba is a subclass of SNMP::Info that provides an interface to Aruba wireless switches. The Aruba platform utilizes intelligent wireless switches which control thin access points. The thin access points themselves are unable to be polled for end station information.

This class emulates bridge functionality for the wireless switch. This enables end station MAC addresses collection and correlation to the thin access point the end station is using for communication.

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

my $aruba = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aruba(...);

$aruba->i_vlan_membership_untagged()

Returns reference to hash of arrays: key = ifIndex, value = array of VLAN IDs. These are the VLANs which are members of the untagged egress list for the port.

$aruba->bp_index()

Augments the bridge MIB by returning reference to a hash containing the index mapping of BSSID to device port (AP).

$aruba->fw_port()

Augments the bridge MIB by including the BSSID a wireless end station is communicating through (nUserApBSSID).

$aruba->fw_mac()

$aruba->at_paddr()

Adds MAC addresses extracted from the index of nUserApBSSID.

$aruba->at_netaddr()

Adds IP addresses extracted from the index of nUserApBSSID.
