AUTHOR

SYNOPSIS

 # Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you. 
 my $nexus = new SNMP::Info(
                        AutoSpecify => 1,
                        Debug       => 1,
                        # These arguments are passed directly to SNMP::Session
                        DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                        Community   => 'public',
                        Version     => 2
                        ) 
    or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

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

DESCRIPTION

Abstraction subclass for Cisco Nexus Switches running NX-OS.

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

 my $nexus = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::Nexus(...);

GLOBALS

These are methods that return a scalar value from SNMP

$nexus->vendor()

Returns 'cisco'

$nexus->os()

Returns 'nx-os'

$nexus->os_ver()

Returns operating system version extracted from sysDescr.

$nexus->serial()

Returns the serial number of the chassis from ENTITY-MIB.

$nexus->model()

Tries to reference $nexus->id() to CISCO-ENTITY-VENDORTYPE-OID-MIB

Removes 'cevChassis' for readability.
