SYNOPSIS

# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $c6500 = new SNMP::Info(
AutoSpecify => 1,
Debug => 1,
# These arguments are passed directly to SNMP::Session
DestHost => 'myswitch',
Community => 'public',
Version => 2
)
or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";
my $class = $c6500->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";

DESCRIPTION

Abstraction subclass for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Layer 2/3 Switches.

These devices run IOS but have some of the same characteristics as the Catalyst WS-C family (5xxx). For example, forwarding tables are held in VLANs, and extended interface information is gleaned from CISCO-SWITCH-MIB.

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

 my $c6500 = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::C6500(...);

GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

$c6500->vendor()

    Returns 'cisco'

$c6500->cvsSwitchMode()

Returns the Switch status: multiNode or standalone.

$c6500->is_virtual_switch()

Return 1 if the switch ("cvsSwitchMode") is in multimode (VSS).

$c6500->serial()

Returns serial number of unit (falls back to "entPhysicalSerialNum").

TABLE METHODS

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

Overrides

$c6500->i_duplex()

Returns reference to hash of iid to current link duplex setting.

Newer software versions return duplex based upon the result of $c6500->el_duplex(). Otherwise it uses the result of the call to CiscoStack::i_duplex().

See SNMP::Info::Etherlike for el_duplex() method and SNMP::Info::CiscoStack for its i_duplex() method.

$c6500->i_duplex_admin()

Returns reference to hash of iid to administrative duplex setting.

Newer software versions return duplex based upon the result of $c6500->p_duplex(). Otherwise it uses the result of the call to CiscoStack::i_duplex().

See SNMP::Info::CiscoStack for its i_duplex() and p_duplex() methods.

$c6500->set_i_duplex_admin(duplex, ifIndex)

Sets port duplex, must be supplied with duplex and port "ifIndex".

Speed choices are 'auto', 'half', 'full'.

Crosses $c6500->p_port() with $c6500->p_duplex() to utilize port "ifIndex".

    Example:
    my %if_map = reverse %{$c6500->interfaces()};
    $c6500->set_i_duplex_admin('auto', $if_map{'FastEthernet0/1'}) 
        or die "Couldn't change port duplex. ",$c6500->error(1);

$c6500->set_i_speed_admin(speed, ifIndex)

Sets port speed, must be supplied with speed and port "ifIndex".

Speed choices are '10', '100', '1000'.

Crosses $c6500->p_port() with $c6500->p_speed() to utilize port "ifIndex".
