NAME
       SNMP::Info::Layer3::NetSNMP - SNMP Interface to L3 Net-SNMP Devices

AUTHORS
       Bradley Baetz and Bill Fenner

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

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

DESCRIPTION
       Subclass for Generic Net-SNMP devices

   Inherited Classes
       SNMP::Info::Layer3

   Required MIBs
       UCD-SNMP-MIB
       NET-SNMP-TC
       HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
       Inherited Classes' MIBs
	   See SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements.

GLOBALS
       These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

       $netsnmp->vendor()
	   Returns 'Net-SNMP'.

       $netsnmp->os()
	   Returns the OS extracted from "sysDescr".

       $netsnmp->os_ver()
	   Returns the software version extracted from "sysDescr", along with the Net-SNMP version.

       $netsnmp->uptime()
	   Returns the system uptime instead of the agent uptime.  NOTE: discontinuity timers and other Time Stamp based objects are based on
	   agent uptime, so use orig_uptime().

       $netsnmp->serial()
	   Returns ''.

   Globals imported from SNMP::Info::Layer3
       See documentation in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for details.

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

   Overrides
       $netsnmp->i_ignore()
	   Returns reference to hash.  Increments value of IID if port is to be ignored.

	   Ignores loopback

NOTES
       In order to cause SNMP::Info to classify your device into this class, it may be necessary to put a configuration line into your snmpd.conf
       similar to

	 sysobjectid .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.N

       where N is the object ID for your OS from the "NET-SNMP-TC" MIB (or 255 if not listed).	Some Net-SNMP installations default to an
       incorrect return value for "system.sysObjectId".

       In order to recognize a Net-SNMP device as Layer3, it may be necessary to put a configuration line similar to

	 sysservices 76

       in your snmpd.conf.
