🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe — you let SNMP::Info figure out the right subclass for you, and it just... does it. main character energy honestly:

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

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

like, it literally tells you which subclass your device belongs to. iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this here is the Subclass for Palo Alto devices. that's the whole plot. 💜

✨ Inherited Classes ✨

• SNMP::Info::Layer3

✨ Required MIBs ✨

• PAN-COMMON-MIB
• PAN-PRODUCTS-MIB

🌈 Inherited Classes' MIBs 🌈

bestie, the MIBs you need are inherited too, so:

• go check out SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements. iykyk.

---

💖 GLOBALS 💖

these are methods that return scalar value from SNMP. little single-value girlies. ⭐

• $pa->vendor() — hands you back 'palo alto networks'.
• $pa->os() — hands you back 'PAN-OS'.
• $pa->model() — returns the value of "panChassisType.0".
• $pa->os_ver() — returns the value of "panSysSwVersion.0".
• $pa->serial() — returns the value of "panSysSerialNumber.0".

✨ Overrides ✨

• $pa->layers() — returns 01001100. and no, Palo Alto doesn't report layers, so this got modified to reflect Layer 3,4,7 functionality instead. periodt.

🍓 TABLE ENTRIES 🍓

these are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash. yes, a whole hash ref. the drama of it all 😭

ngl bestie, if you're working with a Palo Alto box and you need SNMP info, this is literally your girl. layers go brrr. layer 3, 4, AND 7?? she's doing the most and we love her for it. 🔥

that's the whole page, angel — this was perl v5.40.1 documentation dated 2026-02-28, and remember, SNMP::...loAlto(3pm) is just the fun little truncated header version of her name 🎀 rest well, go touch some grass, and don't forget your MIBs 🌸💜
