NAME

       SNMP::Info::Layer3::Dell - SNMP Interface to Dell Power Connect Network Devices

AUTHOR

       Eric Miller

SYNOPSIS

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

	my $class = $dell->class();

	print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class
";

DESCRIPTION

       Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from an Dell Power Connect device through SNMP.  D-Link and the IBM
       BladeCenter Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module also use this module based upon MIB support.

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

       my $dell = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::Dell(...);

   Inherited Classes
       SNMP::Info::Layer3

   Required MIBs
       Dell-Vendor-MIB
       RADLAN-Physicaldescription-MIB
       RADLAN-rlInterfaces
       RADLAN-HWENVIROMENT
       Inherited Classes' MIBs
	   See classes listed above for their required MIBs.

GLOBALS

       These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

       $dell->os_ver()
	   ("productIdentificationVersion")

       $dell->dell_id_name()
	   ("productIdentificationDisplayName")

       $dell->model()
	   Returns model type.	Returns numeric from ("productIdentificationDisplayName") if available, otherwise if returns description().

       $dell->vendor()
	   Returns 'dell', 'dlink', or 'ibm' based upon the IANA enterprise number in id().  Defaults to 'dlink'.

       $dell->os()
	   Returns 'dell', 'dlink', or 'ibm' based upon the IANA enterprise number in id().  Defaults to 'dlink'.

   Overrides
       $dell->serial()
	   Returns serial number. Returns ("rlPhdUnitGenParamSerialNum") if available, otherwise uses the Layer3 serial method.

TABLE METHODS

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

   RADLAN Interface Table ("swIfTable")
       $dell->dell_duplex_admin()
	   ("swIfDuplexAdminMode")

       $dell->dell_duplex()
	   ("swIfDuplexOperMode")

       $dell->dell_tag_mode()
	   ("swIfTaggedMode")

       $dell->dell_i_type()
	   ("swIfType")

       $dell->dell_fc_admin()
	   ("swIfFlowControlMode")

       $dell->dell_speed_admin()
	   ("swIfSpeedAdminMode")

       $dell->dell_auto()
	   ("swIfSpeedDuplexAutoNegotiation")

       $dell->dell_fc()
	   ("swIfOperFlowControlMode")

   Overrides
       $dell->interfaces()
	   Returns the map between SNMP Interface Identifier (iid) and physical port name.  Uses name if available instead of description since
	   descriptions are sometimes not unique.

       $dell->i_duplex_admin()
	   Returns reference to hash of iid to current link administrative duplex setting.

       $dell->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.

       $dell->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.
