💖 SNMP::Info::Layer2::HP 💖

okay bestie, welcome to SNMP::Info::Layer2::HP from the User Contributed Perl Documentation 💅 this is the SNMP interface to HP Procurve switches and she is serving.

✨ NAME ✨

SNMP::Info::Layer2::HP — SNMP Interface to HP Procurve Switches 🫶

🌸 AUTHOR 🌸

Max Baker — give her her flowers, she built this 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the whole vibe: let SNMP::Info figure out the right subclass for you, no cap.

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

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She provides abstraction to all the configuration info you can get off an HP ProCurve Switch via SNMP. iconic behavior fr fr ✨

⚠️ heads up bestie: some HP Switches will connect via SNMP version 1, but a LOT of the config data just... won't be there 😭. Make sure you try and connect with Version => 2 first, and then fail back to version 1.

If you're doing it for speed or for debugging, you can call the subclass directly — but NOT after you've already determined a more specific class using the method up there. do not do it. i'm serious.

my $hp = new SNMP::Info::Layer2::HP(...);

📚 Inherited Classes

she inherits from, and she eats every time:

SNMP::Info::Layer2
SNMP::Info::MAU

⭐ Change Log

Version 0.4 — Removed ENTITY-MIB e_*() methods to separate sub-class — SNMP::Info::Entity

👑 GLOBALS 👑

these are methods that return scalar values straight from SNMP, periodt 💅

$hp->cpu() — returns CPU Utilization in percentage 📈
$hp->log() — returns all the log entries from the switch's log that are not Link up or down messages
$hp->mem_free() — returns bytes of free memory
$hp->mem_total() — return bytes of total memory
$hp->mem_used() — returns bytes of used memory
$hp->model() — returns the model number of the HP Switch. she will translate between the HP Part number and the common model number with this map 🗺️:

$hp->os() — returns hp 🫡
$hp->os_bin() — "hpSwitchRomVersion.0"
$hp->os_ver() — tries to use os_version() and if that fails she will try and cull the version from the description field 🔍
$hp->os_version() — "hpSwitchOsVersion.0"
$hp->serial() — returns serial number if available through SNMP
$hp->slots() — returns number of entries in $hp->e_name that have 'slot' in them
$hp->vendor() — hp
$hp->fan() — returns fan status 🌬️
$hp->ps1_status() — Power supply 1 status
$hp->ps2_status() — Power supply 2 status
$hp->peth_port_power() — Power supplied by PoE ports, in milliwatts ("hpicfPoePethPsePortPower") ⚡
$hp->stp_ver() — returns what version of STP the device is running. ("hpicfBridgeRstpForceVersion" with fallback to inherited stp_ver())

🌈 TABLE METHODS 🌈

these are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash. very demure, very hashref 💅

✨ Overrides

$hp->interfaces() — uses $hp->i_description()
$hp->i_duplex() — returns reference to map of IIDs to current link duplex.
$hp->i_duplex_admin() — returns reference to hash of IIDs to admin duplex setting.
$hp->vendor_i_type() — returns reference to hash of IIDs to HP specific port type ("hpSwitchPortType").
$hp->i_name() — crosses i_name() with $hp->e_name() using $hp->e_port() and i_alias()
$hp->peth_port_ifindex() — returns reference to hash of power Ethernet port table entries map back to interface index (c<ifIndex>)
"agg_ports" — returns a HASH reference mapping from slave to master port for each member of a port bundle on the device. Keys are ifIndex of the slave ports, Values are ifIndex of the corresponding master ports. obsessed with this one tbh 🔥

🍓 MUNGES 🍓

munge_hp_c_id() — Munge for c_id which handles CDP and LLDP. she's doing double duty and she's not even complaining 🫶

⭐ SET METHODS ⭐

these are methods that provide SNMP set functionality for overridden methods or provide a simpler interface to complex set operations. See "SETTING DATA VIA SNMP" in SNMP::Info for general info on set operations — go read it, iykyk 😌

set_i_vlan()
set_i_vlan_tagged()

💀 reminder for the girlies: setting stuff via SNMP means you're writing to the device, so be careful out there, okay? mwah 💋
