SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

Abstraction subclass for Layer 2-7 load balancing switches running Nortel Networks' Alteon Web OS Traffic Control Software.

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

 my $alteon = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::AlteonAD(...);

GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

$alteon->model(): Returns the model extracted from sysDescr
$alteon->vendor(): Returns 'Nortel'
$alteon->os(): Returns 'WebOS'
$alteon->os_ver(): Returns the software version reported by agSoftwareVersion
$alteon->root_ip(): Returns the primary IP used to communicate with the device. Currently returns the first interfaces IP.

TABLE ENTRIES

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

Overrides

$alteon->interfaces(): Returns reference to the map between IID and physical port.; Utilizes description for network interfaces. Ports are determined by formula (ifIndex mod 256).
$alteon->i_duplex(): Returns reference to hash. Maps port operational duplexes to IIDs.
$alteon->i_duplex_admin(): Returns reference to hash. Maps port admin duplexes to IIDs.
$alteon->i_vlan(): Returns reference to hash. Maps port VLAN ID to IIDs.
$alteon->i_name(): Maps (agPortCurCfgPortName) to port and returns the human set port name if exists.
$alteon->bp_index(): Returns a mapping between ifIndex and the Bridge Table.

RFC1213 Arp Cache Table (ipNetToMediaTable)

$alteon->at_index(): Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to Interface IIDs; (ipNetToMediaIfIndex)
$alteon->at_paddr(): Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to MAC addresses.; (ipNetToMediaPhysAddress)
$alteon->at_netaddr(): Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to IPs; (ipNetToMediaNetAddress)
