SNMP::...::Cisco(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

SNMP::Info::Layer2::Cisco — the SNMP interface to L2 Cisco devices that aren't already covered by the other classes, and also the base L2 Cisco class that the other device-specific L2 Cisco classes are built on top of. Bestie, this is the origin story. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so the whole vibe here is: don't pick the subclass yourself, let SNMP::Info do the vibe check for you.

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

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is the subclass for Generic Layer 2 Cisco devices, and also the base L2 Cisco class that other device-specific L2 Cisco classes inherit from. It's giving founding mother energy. 👑

💜 GLOBALS 💜

These are methods that return a scalar value straight from SNMP. No tables, just the one little fact. 🫶

• $cisco->vendor() — Returns 'cisco'.

And that's the whole page, bestie. This one's perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-02-28, and it lives in the manual as SNMP::...::Cisco(3pm). Go read the parent classes fr fr, they're lowkey the main characters anyway. Periodt. 💅🌟
