SNMP::...Aironet(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aironet — a Perl5 interface to your Cisco Aironet wireless devices that are running Aironet software, bestie. Not IOS. We do not do IOS here. 🙅♀️

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so first things first, let SNMP::Info do the detective work for you:

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

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

like, it literally just figures out which subclass you need and tells you. main character behaviour fr fr 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aironet is an SNMP::Info subclass that gives you access to SNMP data for an Aironet device running Aironet software — and NOT cisco IOS. important distinction, don't mix them up 💀

heads up bestie, there are two classes for Aironet devices and they are NOT the same vibe:

• SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aironet — this one's for devices running Aironet software (the older ones)
• SNMP::Info::Layer2::Aironet — this one's for devices running Cisco IOS software (the newer ones)

If you're doing it for speed or for debugging, you can call the subclass directly — but NOT after you've already figured out a more specific class using the method up in the SYNOPSIS. that would be giving messy energy:

 my $aironet = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aironet(...);

🧬 Inherited Classes 🧬

• SNMP::Info::Layer3 — that's the family tree, she inherits from here 💖

📚 Required MIBs 📚

• AWCVX-MIB
• IEEE802dot11-MIB

no MIBs, no data, no slay. periodt.

👑 GLOBALS 👑

these are the methods that return a scalar value straight from SNMP. little single-value snacks ✨

• $aironet->awc_duplex() — gives you the admin duplex setting for the Ethernet Port. comes from "awcEtherDuplex.0" 💅
• $aironet->mac() — gives you the MAC address of the wireless side. source of truth: "dot11StationID.2" 🦋
• $aironet->os() — returns 'aironet'. that's it, that's the whole personality 🎀
• $aironet->os_ver — tries to cull the version out of the description field. lowkey a little scavenger hunt 🔍
• $aironet->vendor() — returns 'cisco'. 💜

🔥 TABLE METHODS 🔥

these ones return tables of info as a reference to a hash. like, whole grids of data. very demure, very mindful 📊

💅 Overrides 💅

• $aironet->bp_index() — takes the bp_index() value from SNMP::Info::Bridge and overrides the wireless port so it gets assigned to the transparent bridge port (that's port 0) 👑
• $aironet->fw_mac() — adds the static table entries from bs_mac() onto port 0 so your wireless MAC addresses actually get reported. and btw, the forwarding table entries for port 0? removed. gone. not invited 💀
• $aironet->fw_port() — adds the static table port mappings into the forwarding table port mappings by adding bs_port() to fw_port() ✨
• $aironet->i_duplex() — adds the value of awc_duplex() to every Ethernet port it sees 🦋
• $aironet->i_mac() — overrides the values for i_mac with the value from awc_mac() if they're set 🌸
• $aironet->i_ignore() — ignores any ports of type `rptr` and `lo`. not them. blocked 🙈

🍓 Aironet specific items 🍓

• $aironet->awc_default_mac() — gives you the default MAC address of each interface. source: "awcIfDefaultPhysAddress" 💖
• $aironet->awc_mac() — gives you the actual MAC address of each interface. source: "awcIfPhysAddress" 👑
• $aironet->awc_ip() — gives you the IP address assigned to each interface. source: "awcIfIpAddress" ⭐
• $aironet->awc_netmask() — gives you the NetMask for each interface. source: "awcIfIpNetMask" 🌈
• $aironet->awc_msdu() — maps to "awcIfMSDUMaxLength" 💜
