🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so like, here's the whole vibe. let SNMP::Info pick the right subclass for you, it literally knows:

# 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 💜

Bestie this module is your lil abstraction layer to all the configuration info you can get off a Netgear device through SNMP ✨ If you're looking for inherited methods, go read the docs of the inherited classes, k? They got you.

🧚 Inherited Classes 🧚

• SNMP::Info::Layer2

🎀 Required MIBs 🎀

🍓 Inherited Classes' MIBs 🍓

• all the MIBs listed in "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 and its inherited classes 💫

---

🌈 GLOBALS 🌈

these are the methods that hand you a scalar value straight from SNMP ⭐

💅 Overrides 💅

• $netgear->vendor() — returns 'netgear'. that's it, that's the answer 💖
• $netgear->os() — returns 'netgear'. yes, again. consistency queen 👑
• $netgear->model() — returns concatenation of $e_model and $e_hwver if the Entity MIB is present, otherwise it returns description(). lowkey depends on what your switch is serving up that day 🙈
• $netgear->os_ver() — returns OS Version. periodt.
• $netgear->serial() — returns Serial Number if available. heads up bestie: older FS switches have no accessible serial number, so don't come for me when it's not there 😭

🌟 TABLE METHODS 🌟

these ones hand you tables of info, in the form of a reference to a hash 🧚✨
