SYNOPSIS

# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $netgear = new SNMP::Info(
                         AutoSpecify => 1,
                         Debug       => 1,
                         DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                         Community   => 'public',
                         Version     => 2
                       )
   or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

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

DESCRIPTION

Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from a Netgear device through SNMP. See inherited classes' documentation for inherited methods.

Inherited Classes

SNMP::Info::Layer2

Required MIBs

Inherited Classes' MIBs

MIBs listed in "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 and its inherited classes.

GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

Overrides

$netgear->vendor()

Returns 'netgear'

$netgear->os()

Returns 'netgear'

$netgear->model()

Returns concatenation of $e_model and $e_hwver if Entity MIB present, otherwise returns description()

$netgear->os_ver()

Returns OS Version.

$netgear->serial()

Returns Serial Number if available (older FS switches have no accessible serial number).

Global Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer2

See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 for details.

TABLE METHODS

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

Overrides

$netgear->interfaces()

Uses ifName, so port names stay fixed when a description is set; falls back to ifDescr and the ifIndex.

$netgear->i_name()

Returns reference to hash. The port description configured on the switch (ifAlias), or ifName where none is set.
