💖 SNMP::Info::Layer3::Whiterabbit 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SNMP::...erabbit(3pm) page — yes that's the manual name, and yes it's giving "someone truncated the filename for fun", but we move. This is the User Contributed Perl Documentation for SNMP::Info::Layer3::Whiterabbit, aka the SNMP interface to Whiterabbit switches. 🐰✨

🫶 NAME

SNMP::Info::Layer3::Whiterabbit — SNMP Interface to Whiterabbit Switches

literally the whole vibe. it talks to Whiterabbit switches over SNMP and hands you the info like a good bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS

here's the whole "let SNMP::Info figure out which subclass you are" ritual, copy-paste ready, no cap:

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

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

so like, if it can't reach DestHost it literally dies (dramatic, but respectful). otherwise class() tells you which subclass SNMP::Info matched the device to. slay. 🔥

🌸 DESCRIPTION

okay so what this does: it gives you an abstraction to all the configuration info you can get off a Whiterabbit Switch via SNMP. that's the whole point. no need to hand-wrangle OIDs like some kind of medieval peasant. 🧚

🌈 Inherited Classes

these are the parents it picks up behavior from:

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

🍓 Required MIBs

you need these MIBs, bestie, no way around it:

• WR-SWITCH-MIB
• WRS-PRODUCTS-MIB

and they live here: https://github.com/GSI-CS-CO/wrs_mibs.git

---

💜 GLOBALS

these are the methods that return a scalar value from SNMP. one value, in and out, clean and simple. ✨

• $whiterabbit->layers() — overrides the snmp value, because we support 1-3 🫶
• $whiterabbit->os() — statically returns whiterabbit. it's not out here guessing, it's just stating facts. 💅
• $whiterabbit->vendor() — returns the manufacturer as it's read from the device, e.g. seven solutions, creotech, etc. whatever the device says, that's what you get. 🎀
• $whiterabbit->model() — as returned by the mib. no meaningful translation — it is what it is, bestie. 🙈
• $whiterabbit->mac() — uses the dot1dBaseBridgeAddress 🌉
• $whiterabbit->os_ver() — including the git hash, because we love receipts. 🔥

💖 Globals imported from SNMP::Info::Layer3

see the documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for details, okay? it's all there, iykyk.

💖 Globals imported from SNMP::Info::MAU

see the documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::MAU for details. same energy, different parent. ✨

🦋 TABLE METHODS

these give you tables of info, returned as a reference to a hash. not one little value — the whole ensemble. 🌈

lowkey reminder: everything imported from the parent classes is documented over there, so if something's missing here, that's why. not me being mysterious, it's just how inheritance works 💀

and that's the page!! 💖 this was written for perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-02-28, and it's part of SNMP::...erabbit(3pm). go forth and SNMP responsibly, bestie — mwah 🎀✨💅
