SYNOPSIS
# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $baystack = new SNMP::Info(
                         AutoSpecify => 1,
                         Debug       => 1,
                         DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                         Community   => 'public',
                         Version     => 2
                       ) 
 or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";
my $class = $baystack->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";DESCRIPTION
Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from an Avaya Ethernet Switch (formerly Nortel/Bay Baystack) and VSP 7000 series through SNMP.
For speed or debugging purposes you can call the subclass directly, but not after determining a more specific class using the method above.
my $baystack = new SNMP::Info::Layer2::Baystack(...);

GLOBALS
These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP
- $baystack->vendor()
- 
Returns 'avaya' 
- $baystack->model()
- 
Cross references $baystack->id() to the SYNOPTICS-MIB and returns the results. 303s and 304s have the same ID, so we have a hack to return depending on which it is. Returns BPS for Business Policy Switch For others extracts and returns the switch numeric designation. 
- $baystack->os()
- 
Returns 'baystack' or 'boss' depending on software version. 
- $baystack->os_bin()
- 
Returns the firmware version extracted from sysDescr.
- $baystack->stp_ver()
- 
Returns the particular STP version running on this device. Values: nortelStpg,pvst,rstp,mstp,ieee8021d( s5AgSysSpanningTreeOperMode)
Overrides
- $baystack->index_factor()
- 
Required by SNMP::Info::SONMP. Number representing the number of ports reserved per slot within the device MIB. Index factor on the Baystack switches are determined by the formula: Index Factor = 64 if (model = 470 or (os eq 'boss' and operating in pure mode)) or else Index factor = 32. Returns either 32 or 64 based upon the formula.

TABLE METHODS
These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.
Overrides
- $baystack->interfaces()
- 
Returns reference to the map between IID and physical Port. Slot and port numbers on the Baystack switches are determined by the formula: port = (Interface index % Index factor) slot = (int(Interface index / Index factor)) + Slot offset The physical port name is returned as slot.port.
- $baystack->i_ignore()
- 
Returns reference to hash of IIDs to ignore. 
- $baystack->i_mac()
- 
Returns the ifPhysAddresstable entries.Removes all entries matching '00:00:00:00:00:00' -- Certain revisions of Baystack firmware report all zeros for each port mac. 
- $baystack->i_name()
- 
Crosses ifNamewithifAliasand returns the human set port name if exists.
- $baystack->peth_port_ifindex()
- 
Maps the pethPsePortTabletoifIndexby way of the ENTITY-MIB.
- $baystack->peth_port_power()
- 
Power supplied by PoE ports, in milliwatts ( bspePethPsePortExtMeasuredPower)
ENTITY-MIB Information
For older devices which do not support ENTITY-MIB, these methods emulate Physical Table methods using S5-CHASSIS-MIB. See "TABLE METHODS" in SNMP::Info::NortelStack for details on ns_e_* methods.
- $baystack->e_index()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalDescr, this will try ns_e_index(). Note that this is based onentPhysicalDescrdue to implementation details of SNMP::Info::Entity::e_index().
- $baystack->e_class()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalClass, this will try ns_e_class().
- $baystack->e_descr()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalDescr, this will try ns_e_descr().
- $baystack->e_name()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalName, this will try ns_e_name().
- $baystack->e_fwver()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalFirmwareRev, this will try ns_e_fwver().
- $baystack->e_hwver()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalHardwareRev, this will try ns_e_hwver().
- $baystack->e_parent()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalContainedIn, this will try ns_e_parent().
- $baystack->e_pos()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalParentRelPos, this will try ns_e_pos().
- $baystack->e_serial()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalSerialNum, this will try ns_e_serial().
- $baystack->e_swver()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalSoftwareRev, this will try ns_e_swver().
- $baystack->e_type()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalVendorType, this will try ns_e_type().
- $baystack->e_vendor()
- 
If the device doesn't support entPhysicalMfgName, this will try ns_e_vendor().
Layer 2 Forwarding Database
These methods try to obtain the layer 2 forwarding database entries via the normal bridge methods as well as SPBM entries via rapid city methods.
- $baystack->fw_mac()
- 
Returns reference to hash of forwarding table MAC Addresses 
- $baystack->fw_port()
- 
Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries port interface identifier (iid) 
- $baystack->qb_fw_vlan()
- 
Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries VLAN ID 
- $baystack->fw_status()
- 
Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries status
