SYNOPSIS

# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you. 
my $l7 = new SNMP::Info(
                         AutoSpecify => 1,
                         Debug       => 1,
                         DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                         Community   => 'public',
                         Version     => 1
                       ) 
   or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

my $class = $l7->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";

# Let's get some basic Port information
my $interfaces = $l7->interfaces();
my $i_up       = $l7->i_up();
my $i_speed    = $l7->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::Layer7::* Please read all docs under SNMP::Info first.

Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from a Layer7 device through SNMP. Information is stored in a number of MIBs.

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

my $l7 = new SNMP::Info::Layer7(...);

MIBs required for "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info

See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info for its MIB requirements.

GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

Overrides

$l7->model()

Cross references $l7->id() with product IDs.

$l7->vendor()

Tries to discover the vendor by looking up the enterprise number in sysObjectID.
