SNMP::...Sixnet(3pm)

💖 SNMP::...Sixnet(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation glow-up of SNMP::...Sixnet(3pm) — yes that's the manual section, yes the name has three dots in it, we don't ask questions, we just vibe 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

SNMP::Info::Layer2::Sixnet — the SNMP Interface to Sixnet industrial switches. that's it, that's the whole name, it's giving exactly what it says on the tin 💅

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Eric Miller. thank you for your service, king 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole moment, copy it exactly, don't freestyle it:

my $sixnet = new SNMP::Info(
          AutoSpecify => 1,
          Debug       => 1,
          DestHost    => 'myswitch',
          Community   => 'public',
          Version     => 2
        )

or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

my $class = $sixnet->class();
print " Using device sub class : $class\n";

notice that or die at the end?? yeah, if you can't connect to DestHost you literally die, no cap. that's not a suggestion bestie, that's the flow 😭

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so SNMP::Info::Layer2::Sixnet is a subclass of SNMP::Info that gives you an interface to Sixnet industrial switches. industrial!! like, switches that go in factories and stuff, not your little home router. main character energy fr fr 🔥

🧚 Inherited Classes 🧚

• SNMP::Info::Layer2

that's the one, that's the lineage, it inherited its whole personality ✨

🎀 Required MIBs 🎀

• SIXNET-MIB

you need this one, it's non-negotiable, the whole thing runs on it 💖

🦋 Inherited MIBs 🦋

peep "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 for what that class needs, because we're a subclass and we inherit the whole MIB situation, iykyk 🌈

---

⭐ GLOBALS ⭐

these are the methods that hand you back a scalar value straight from SNMP. lil one-value cuties, one per call 🌸

• $sixnet->vendor() — returns 'sixnet'. iconic, no notes 💅
• $sixnet->os() — returns 'sixnet'. again, consistent queen 👑
• $sixnet->os_ver() — returns the software version that "firmwareRevision" hands back. whatever firmware says, that's what you get 🎀
• $sixnet->model() — returns the model type. if "sxid" exists it just returns that, easy. otherwise it cross references $sixnet->id() against the SIXNET-MIB. two paths, one answer, slay ✨
• $sixnet->ps1_status() — ("p1status"). that's the whole description bestie, it returns the p1 status, we keep it exact 🫶
• $sixnet->ps2_status() — ("p2status"). and here's the p2 one, matching energy 💖

💫 Globals imported from SNMP::Info::Layer2 💫

the rest of the globals come pre-loaded from SNMP::Info::Layer2, so bounce over to "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 for the deets 🌈

---

🔥 TABLE METHODS 🔥

these ones don't do lil scalars — they return tables of information, in the form of a reference to a hash. big data energy, hash refs only 😤

💀 Table Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer2 💀

the table methods are inherited from SNMP::Info::Layer2, so check "TABLE METHODS" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 for details. we don't reinvent the table, we inherit the table, periodt 💅

---

fr fr reminder bestie: the scalar methods live under GLOBALS, the hash-ref ones live under TABLE METHODS, and if you need more you go read the parent class doc. that's the whole assignment 🎀
