🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

so like, here's how you actually summon her:

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

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

and then she tells you what subclass she decided your device belongs to 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

She's an abstraction subclass for Avaya/Nortel VPN Routers (formerly Contivity Extranet Switch). Built different, fr fr 💜

🧚 Inherited Classes

• SNMP::Info::Layer3

🍓 Required MIBs

💫 Inherited Classes' MIBs

Peep "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements — she doesn't hoard them, she inherits them 🎀

👑 GLOBALS 👑

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP ✨

• $contivity->vendor() — returns 'avaya' 💖
• $contivity->model() — returns the chassis name.

(from "entPhysicalModelName.1")

• $contivity->os() — returns 'contivity' 💅
• $contivity->os_ver() — returns the software version extracted from "sysDescr".
• $contivity->serial() — returns the chassis serial number.

(from "entPhysicalSerialNum.1")

• $contivity->mac() — returns the MAC address of the first Ethernet Interface 🌈

🔥 Overrides

• $contivity->layers() — returns 00000100. Contivity does not support bridge MIB, so this override is here to fix up the reported layers. she said "not me reporting layers you can't have" 😭

⭐ TABLE METHODS ⭐

These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash, bestie 🍓

💜 Overrides

• $contivity->interfaces() — returns reference to the map between IID and physical Port. Skips loopback and tunnel interfaces 🙈
• $contivity->i_name() — Interface Name field. Skips loopback and tunnel interfaces. same energy, same skips 💅
