SYNOPSIS

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

Required MIBs

Inherited Classes' MIBs
MIBs listed in "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 and its inherited classes.

Global Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer2

See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer2 for details.

TABLE METHODS

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

Overrides

$netgear->fw_mac()
Returns reference to hash of forwarding table MAC Addresses.
 
Some devices don't implement the "BRIDGE-MIB" forwarding table, so we use the "Q-BRIDGE-MIB" forwarding table. Fall back to the "BRIDGE-MIB" if "Q-BRIDGE-MIB" doesn't return anything.
$netgear->fw_port()
Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries port interface identifier (iid)
 
Some devices don't implement the "BRIDGE-MIB" forwarding table, so we use the "Q-BRIDGE-MIB" forwarding table. Fall back to the "BRIDGE-MIB" if "Q-BRIDGE-MIB" doesn't return anything.
