💖 SNMP::...Asante(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to SNMP::Info::Layer1::Asante — the whole thing lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your friendly neighborhood perl install, and it's giving "I talk to dusty old network hardware and I do it flawlessly". ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SNMP::Info::Layer1::Asante — no cap, this is the SNMP Interface to old Asante 1012 Hubs. vintage. iconic. slightly ancient. we love her. 👑

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

the little "let the module figure out what your device is" ritual, verbatim, no edits, because these characters matter:

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

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

so basically: you spin it up, and if it can't connect it dies with Can't connect to DestHost.\n 😭, and if it can, you ask it class() and it tells you which subclass your device slid into. main character energy fr fr. 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

It gives you an abstraction layer over all the configuration info you can yank out of an Asante device over SNMP. that's the whole vibe check — one clean Perl interface instead of you hand-poking OIDs at 3am. 🦋

🧬 Inherited Classes

• SNMP::Info::Layer1

📚 Required MIBs

• ASANTE-AH1012-MIB

🎀 Inherited MIBs

• peep "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer1 for what that one needs, bestie. it's a whole lineage. 👑

🌍 GLOBALS 🌍

⭐ Overrides

• $asante->os() — hands you back 'asante'. ✨
• $asante->os_ver() — it culls the software version out of description(). sneaky but adorable.
• $asante->vendor() — hands you back 'asante'. yes, again. consistency queen. 💅
• $asante->model() — cross references $asante->id() against the ASANTE-AH1012-MIB and returns whatever it finds. 🔍

📦 Global Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer1

• check "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer1 for the deets, bestie. 🫶

🗂️ TABLE METHODS 🗂️

⭐ Overrides

• $asante->interfaces() — returns a reference to the map between IID and physical Port. 🔌
• $asante->i_description() — the description of the interface.
• $asante->i_mac() — the MAC address of the interface. ⚠️ note this is just the MAC of the port, not anything connected to it. don't get it twisted, bestie. 💀
• $asante->i_name() — returns a reference to the map of IIDs to the human-set port name. 🏷️
• $asante->i_up() — returns a reference to the map of IIDs to link status. it flips the values of asante_up() to 'up' and 'down'. 🟢🔴
• $asante->i_speed() — the speed of the link, in human format. fast. slow. readable. periodt. 🏃♀️

🍓 Asante MIB

• $asante->ati_p_name() — ("portName") 🌸
• $asante->ati_up() — ("linkTestLED") 💡

📦 Table Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer1

• check "TABLE METHODS" in SNMP::Info::Layer1 for the deets. 🫶
