💖 SNMP::Info::Layer3::Tasman 💖

okay bestie, so this is the SNMP::Info::Layer3::Tasman page — that's the SNMP Interface to Avaya Secure Routers — and it lives over in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the perl man pages. grab a boba, we're doing this 🌸

👑 NAME 👑

SNMP::Info::Layer3::Tasman — the SNMP interface to Avaya Secure Routers. that's it, that's the whole vibe check ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so here's how you'd actually use it, bestie:

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

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

basically you let it auto-detect the subclass for you, and if it can't connect to DestHost it just dies right there, no cap 💀 those args get passed straight through to SNMP::Session so it's giving efficiency.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

it's a subclass for Avaya Secure Routers. iconic behavior.

🧬 Inherited Classes

• SNMP::Info::Layer3
• SNMP::Info::MAU

📚 Required MIBs

• NT-ENTERPRISE-DATA-MIB
• SYSTEM-MIB
• CHASSIS-MIB
• ENVIRONMENT-MIB

🎀 Inherited Classes' MIBs

• pop over to "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 to see what it needs for its own MIB requirements.
• and also check "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::MAU for its own MIB requirements.

👑 GLOBALS 👑

these are the methods that hand you back scalar values straight from SNMP. little single-value besties 🍓

• $tasman->vendor() — returns 'avaya' 💅
• $tasman->model() — tries to grab the model from "nnchassisModel", and if that's not available it cross-references $tasman->id() against NT-ENTERPRISE-DATA-MIB. also it swaps 'SR' in for 'ntSecureRouter' in the name, because readability slay ✨
• $tasman->os() — returns 'tasman'
• $tasman->os_ver() — grabs the OS version from "nnsysVersion"
• $tasman->ps1_type() — this is "nnenvPwrsupType.1"
• $tasman->ps1_status() — this is "nnenvPwrsupStatus.1"
• $tasman->ps2_type() — this is "nnenvPwrsupType.2"
• $tasman->ps2_status() — this is "nnenvPwrsupStatus.2"
• $tasman->nn_sys_ver() — this is "nnsysVersion.0"
• $tasman->nn_ch_model() — this is "nnchassisModel.0"
• $tasman->nn_ch_op_stat() — this is "nnchassisOperStatus.0"
• $tasman->nn_ch_serial() — this is "nnchassisSerialNumber.0"
• $tasman->serial() — tries both ("nnchassisOperStatus") and ("nnchassisSerialNumber"), because the oid got redefined between versions 🙈 gotta cover both bases fr fr

🌸 TABLE METHODS 🌸

these ones return tables of information, which show up as a reference to a hash. whole lil datasets, obsessed 💖

• $tasman->i_duplex_admin() — returns a reference to a hash of iid → administrative duplex setting. first it checks for fixed gigabit ports, which are always full duplex, no negotiating periodt. next it checks the port administrative speed ("portAdminSpeed") — if that's set to autonegotiate, then the duplex autonegotiates too; otherwise it uses the reported port duplex ("portDuplex"). the way it layers those checks? it's giving logic 💅
• $tasman->i_speed_admin() — returns a reference to a hash of iid → administrative speed setting, via "portAdminSpeed".

🧚 Pseudo ENTITY-MIB information

these methods emulate the ENTITY-MIB Physical Table methods using CHASSIS-MIB. cosplay but make it SNMP.

• $tasman->e_index() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: Integer.
• $tasman->e_class() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: General hardware type.
• $tasman->e_descr() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: Human friendly name
• $tasman->e_vendor() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: avaya
• $tasman->e_serial() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: Serial number
• $tasman->e_pos() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: The relative position among all entities sharing the same parent.
• $tasman->e_type() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: Type of component/sub-component.
• $tasman->e_parent() — returns a reference to a hash. Key: IID, Value: The value of e_index() for the entity which 'contains' this entity. A value of zero indicates this entity is not contained in any other entity.
• $entity->e_fru() — BOOLEAN. Is a Field Replaceable unit? 🦋

ok so real talk — this whole thing is from perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-02-28, and it's the SNMP::...Tasman(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. that's the source and the date, and yes I remembered them because I would never do you like that 🫶

love u, go configure something, mwah 💖✨🎀
