NAME

Net::Appliance::Logical - Base Class for interacting various network appliances

SYNOPSIS

use base 'Net::Appliance::Logical';

DESCRIPTION

When managing a variety of network appliances, several common needs arise that this module attempts to automate.

METHODS

my $val = $obj->action( $name );

Given an action, uses the appropriate action method.

snmpget

my $val = $obj->snmpget( $oid );

This method takes an OID number and returns the value it got from an SNMP query for that oid. Any timeticks are not translated, they are returned as an integer instead. Time::Duration is handy for translating it yourself.

Executes a command via the connected session. You can pass an array to execute more than one command at a time.

trim

my $trimmed = $obj->trim( $string );
