🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so first you let SNMP::Info figure out the correct subclass for you, because why would you do that manually:

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

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

then you literally just print the class and vibe check your device, periodt 🦋

Inherited Classes' MIBs

go look at "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements, bestie, because this page isn't gonna spell them out for you 💀

🔥 GLOBALS 🔥

these are methods that return scalar value from SNMP. one value, no table, just a cute lil single fact about your device 🌟

Overrides

• $router->vendor() — Returns 'microsoft' 🪟
• $router->os() — Returns 'windows'
• $router->os_ver() — Returns '' (empty string, she's mysterious like that 🙈)
• $router->model() — Returns 'Windows Router'
• $router->serial() — Returns '' (again, empty, no serial for you 😭)

Globals imported from SNMP::Info::Layer3

See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for details. all the tea is over there 💖

👑 TABLE METHODS 👑

these are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash. so much data, so organized, we love a structured queen 💅

Overrides

• $router->interfaces() — Map the Interfaces to their physical names. Adds interface number to interface name because identical interface cards return identical "ifDescr", and like... you can't tell them apart otherwise. the interface number is the little name tag keeping them from twinning too hard 🎀
