SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

Abstraction subclass for Layer 2-7 load balancing switches running Nortel Networks' Alteon Web OS Traffic Control Software.

For speed or debugging purposes you can call the subclass directly, but not after determining a more specific class using the method above.

my $alteon = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::AlteonAD(...);

$alteon->model(): Returns the model extracted from sysDescr
$alteon->vendor(): Returns 'Nortel'
$alteon->os(): Returns 'WebOS'
$alteon->os_ver(): Returns the software version reported by agSoftwareVersion
$alteon->root_ip(): Returns the primary IP used to communicate with the device. Currently returns the first interfaces IP.

TABLE ENTRIES

These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.

Overrides

$alteon->interfaces()

Returns reference to the map between IID and physical port.

Utilizes description for network interfaces. Ports are determined by formula (ifIndex mod 256).

$alteon->i_duplex()

Returns reference to hash. Maps port operational duplexes to IIDs.

$alteon->i_duplex_admin()

Returns reference to hash. Maps port admin duplexes to IIDs.

$alteon->i_vlan()

Returns reference to hash. Maps port VLAN ID to IIDs.

$alteon->i_name()

Maps (agPortCurCfgPortName) to port and returns the human set port name if exists.

$alteon->bp_index()

Returns a mapping between ifIndex and the Bridge Table.

RFC1213 Arp Cache Table (ipNetToMediaTable)

$alteon->at_index()

Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to Interface IIDs

(ipNetToMediaIfIndex)

$alteon->at_paddr()

Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to MAC addresses.

(ipNetToMediaPhysAddress)

$alteon->at_netaddr()

Returns reference to hash. Maps ARP table entries to IPs

(ipNetToMediaNetAddress)
