AUTHOR

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.
";

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

DESCRIPTION

       Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from a Netgear device through SNMP. See inherited classes' documentation
       for inherited methods.

   Inherited Classes
       SNMP::Info::Layer2

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

GLOBALS

       These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

   Overrides
       $netgear->vendor()
	   Returns 'netgear'

       $netgear->os()
	   Returns 'netgear'

       $netgear->model()
	   Returns description()

   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.
