NAME

Router::Statistics - Router Statistics and Information Collection

VERSION

Version 0.91_1

SYNOPSIS

Router Statistics and Information Colleciton. Currently this covers a multitude of areas from different types of routers and in a future release this will change. There are some 'action' functions within this module which do need moving to another module so no complaining too much, please.

The following examples shows how to setup the module to retrieve interface statistics from routers that support the standard IFMIB. All the work about OIDs etc is taken care of by the module so you are left with a hash tree, rooted by the router IPs information was received for.

    use Router::Statistics;
    use strict;

    my ( $result, $statistics );
    my ( %routers, %interfaces );

    $statistics = new Router::Statistics();

    $result = $statistics->Router_Add( "10.1.1.1" , "public" );
    $result = $statistics->Router_Ready( "10.1.1.1" );
    ....
    $result = $statistics->Router_Add( "10.1.1.200" , "public" );
    $result = $statistics->Router_Ready( "10.1.1.200" );

    $result = $statistics->Router_Test_Connection(\%routers);

    if ( !%routers )
        { print "No access to Any of the Routers specified.\n";exit(0); }

    $result = $statistics->Router_get_interfaces( \%interfaces );

    foreach my $router ( keys %interfaces )
	{
	print "Router IP is '$router'\n";
	print "Router Hostname is '$routers{$router}{'hostName'}'\n";
	foreach my $interface ( keys %{$interfaces{$router}} )
		{
		print "Interface ID '$interface'\n";
		print "Interface Description '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifDescr'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifType '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifType'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifMtu  '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifMtu'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifSpeed '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifSpeed'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifPhysAddress '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifPhysAddress'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifOperStatus '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifOperStatus'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifInOctets '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifInOctets'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifInUcastPkts '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifInUcastPkts'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifInNUcastPkts '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifInNUcastPkts'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifInDiscards '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifInDiscards'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifInErrors '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifInErrors'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifInUnknownProtos '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifInUnknownProtos'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifOutOctets '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifOutOctets'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifOutUcastPkts '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifOutUcastPkts'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifOutNUcastPkts '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifOutNUcastPkts'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifOutDiscards '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifOutDiscards'}'\n";
		print "Interface ifOutErrors '$interfaces{$ubr}{$interface}{'ifOutErrors'}'\n";
		print "\n";
		}
       }

I am currently in need of access to alternative vendor routers, ie. anyone but Cisco ( ABC ) as I only have real access to Cisco equipment so this code can not be confirmed 100% against anyone else.

I would also like to expand the library to cover other actions , rather than just DOCSIS functions, which is the primary action focus at the moment.

BUGS

Module now semi supports blocking and non blocking mode. It has been discovered that non-blocking is significantly longer to execute. Not entirely sure why, however to speed things up some functions now have _Blocking mirrors so they can be called instead.

Added support to retrieve the STM information very simple implementation to poll the STM mib provided on Cisco equipment.

Added Network Link Map Generator Added CPE snmp read key cycler ( not finished ).

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-router-statistics at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Router-Statistics. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

Cisco I suppose for making their products such a nightmare to manage using SNMP.
