NAME

       SNMP::Info::Layer3::Contivity - SNMP Interface to Nortel VPN Routers (Contivity Extranet Switches).

AUTHOR

       Eric Miller

SYNOPSIS

	# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
	my $contivity = new SNMP::Info(
				 AutoSpecify => 1,
				 Debug	     => 1,
				 DestHost    => 'myswitch',
				 Community   => 'public',
				 Version     => 2
			       )
	   or die "Can't connect to DestHost.
";

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

DESCRIPTION

       Abstraction subclass for Nortel VPN Routers (Contivity Extranet Switch).

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

	my $contivity = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::Contivity(...);
