SYNOPSIS


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

DESCRIPTION

The SNMP::Info::IPv6 class implements functions to for mapping IPv6 addresses to MAC addresses, interfaces and more. It will use data from the IP-MIB, IPV6-MIB, or the CISCO-IETF-IP-MIB, whichever is supported by the device.

This class is inherited by Info::Layer3 to provide IPv6 node tracking across device classes.

For debugging purposes you can call this class directly as you would SNMP::Info

 my $info = new SNMP::Info::IPv6 (...);

Inherited Classes

none.

Required MIBs

IP-MIB =item IPV6-MIB =item CISCO-IETF-IP-MIB

GLOBALS

none.

TABLE METHODS

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

Internet Address Table

$info->ipv6_n2p_addr()
$info->ipv6_n2p_if()
$info->ipv6_n2p_mac()
$info->ipv6_n2p_state()
$info->ipv6_n2p_type()
$info->ipv6_index()
Maps an IPv6 address to an interface "ifIndex"
$info->ipv6_type()
Maps an IPv6 address to its type (unicast, anycast, etc.)
$info->ipv6_pfx_origin()
Maps an IPv6 prefix with its origin (manual, well-known, dhcp, etc.)
$info->ipv6_addr_prefix()
Maps IPv6 addresses with their prefixes
$info->ipv6_addr()
Maps a table instance to an IPv6 address

Internet Address Translation Table

$info->c_inet_phys_address()
Maps an address of type "cInetNetToMediaNetAddressType" on interface "ifIndex" to a physical address.

MUNGES

munge_physaddr()
Takes an octet stream (HEX-STRING) and returns a colon separated ASCII hex string.
