NAME

Zenoss::Router::Network - A JSON/ExtDirect interface to operations on networks

SYNOPSIS

use Zenoss;
my $api = Zenoss->connect(
    {
        username    => 'zenoss username',
        password    => 'zenoss password',
        url         => 'http://zenossinstance:8080',
    }
);

# Replace SOMEMETHOD with one of the available methods provided by this module
my $response = $api->network_SOMEMETHOD(
    {
        parameter1 => 'value',
        parameter2 => 'value',
    }
);
