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 the SNMP::Info::Layer2 manpage 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 description()

Global Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer2

See documentation in GLOBALS in the SNMP::Info::Layer2 manpage for details.

TABLE METHODS

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

Overrides

$netgear->fw_mac(): Returns reference to hash of forwarding table MAC Addresses.; Some devices don't implement the BRIDGE-MIB forwarding table, so we use the Q-BRIDGE-MIB forwarding table. Fall back to the BRIDGE-MIB if Q-BRIDGE-MIB doesn't return anything.
$netgear->fw_port(): Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries port interface identifier (iid); Some devices don't implement the BRIDGE-MIB forwarding table, so we use the Q-BRIDGE-MIB forwarding table. Fall back to the BRIDGE-MIB if Q-BRIDGE-MIB doesn't return anything.
