NAME

Net::SNMP::Util::OID - OID mapper functions for Net::SNMP::Util

SYNOPSIS

# load system and interfaces MIB map
use Net::SNMP::Util::OID qw(sys* if*);

printf "OID of sysDescr is %s\n", oid("sysDescr");
# "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1"

printf "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3 specifys %s\n", oidt("1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3");
# ifType

printf "OID of MIB %s is %s\n", oidm("ifName");
# "ifName", "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1"

oid_load("someMib1" => "1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.1.2.3",
         "someMib2" => "1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.4.5.6");
printf "OID of MIB %s is %s\n", oidm("someMib1");

DESCRIPTION

Module Net::SNMP::Util::OID gives some functions which treats mapping data between MIB name and OID.

Basic entry group importing

This module is preparing some basic MIB and OID maps mainly definded RFC-1213. For example, if you want to treat some MIB and OID with among 'system' and 'snmp' entry group's, declare with use pragma and gives arguments with tailing '*' like;

use Net::SNMP::Util::OID qw(system* snmp*);

So, note that no declaring with this tagging couldn't treat mapping data.

use Net::SNMP::Util::OID;
$oid = oid("ifType");       # Null string will return!

The prepared entrys are; system*, interfaces*, at*, ip*, icmp*, tcp*, udp*, egp*, snmp*, tcp* and ifXTable*. And there are few sugar syntaxs. Only one character '*' means all prepared mapping, 'sys*' means 'system*' and 'if*' means importing 'interfaces' and 'ifXTable' at same time.

EXPORT

This module, Net::SNMP::Util::OID, exports oid_load(), oid(), oidt() and oidm().

FUNCTIONS

oid_load()

oid_load( $mib_name => $oid, ... );
oid_load( \%somehash, ... );

Functions oid_load() takes hash pairs or a referances of hash as arguments, and store intarnally MIB name and OID (Object IDentifier) mapping data from them.

oid

oid( $mib_name, ... )

Function oid() takes MIB names and returns OIDs of them. If OID is not found, given MIB name uses as returing value.

This function treats sub OID of a part of given MIB name as well as sample below;

print oid("ifName.100");  # shows 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.100

oidt

oidt( $mib_oid, ... )

Function oidt() translates OID to MIB name. This returns null string '' if it can't find specified OID.

oidp

($mib_name, $oid) = oidp( $mib_name )

Function oidp() takes a MIB name and returns array contains itself and it's OID search by oid().
