🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so first things first, you let SNMP::Info figure out which subclass you belong to instead of guessing yourself. main character energy:

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

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

and if it can't connect? die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n" — she said nope 🙈

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Abstraction subclass for Riverbed Steelhead WAN optimization appliances.

basically she's the translator between you and your Riverbed box. that's the job. she does it. periodt.

🧚 Inherited Classes

• SNMP::Info::Layer3

she didn't come from nowhere, she came from SNMP::Info::Layer3 👑

🍓 Required MIBs

• STEELHEAD-MIB

💜 Inherited Classes' MIBs

lowkey you gotta go check the parent for what she needs:

• See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements.

---

💫 GLOBALS 💫

these are methods that return scalar value from SNMP. so like, one single value each. little guys. still important.

• $riverbed->vendor() — Returns 'riverbed'. yep. that's the whole thing bestie.
• $riverbed->model() — Returns the chassis model. comes from ("STEELHEAD-MIB::model").
• $riverbed->os() — Returns 'steelhead'.
• $riverbed->os_ver() — Returns the software version extracted from ("systemVersion").
• $riverbed->serial() — Returns the chassis serial number. from ("serialNumber").

✨ Overrides ✨

• $riverbed->layers() — Returns 01001100. Steelhead does not support bridge MIB, so this overrides the reported layers. that binary string is giving very binary of her, we love that for her 💅

🦋 TABLE METHODS 🦋

these bad girls return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash. so instead of one little value, you get the whole friend group 💖

ngl bestie if you're lost, that last bit is basically "go read the parent class, she explains everything" 🎀
