SYNOPSIS

13        # Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
14        my $entity = new SNMP::Info(
15                                 AutoSpecify => 1,
16                                 Debug       => 1,
17                                 DestHost    => 'myswitch',
18                                 Community   => 'public',
19                                 Version     => 2
20                               )
21           or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

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

DESCRIPTION

27       ENTITY-MIB is used by Layer 2 devices from Brocade, Cisco, HP, and
28       more.
29
30       See RFC 2737 for full details.
31
32       Create or use a device subclass that inherit this class.  Do not use
33       directly.
34
35       For debugging purposes you can call this class directly as you would
36       SNMP::Info
37
38        my $entity = new SNMP::Info::Entity (...);
39
40   Inherited Classes
41       none.
42
43   Required MIBs
44       ENTITY-MIB
45

GLOBALS

47       none.

TABLE METHODS

50       These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a
51       reference to a hash.
52
53       $entity->entity_derived_serial()
54           Tries to determine the device serial number from the ENTITY-MIB.
55           Only considers serial numbers for entries without a parent, or if
56           they are of type chassis. Looks at "entPhysicalSerialNum" and then
57           "entPhysicalDescr" for serial number.
58
59       $entity->entity_derived_os_ver()
60           Tries to determine the device OS version from the ENTITY-MIB. Only
61           considers serial numbers for entries without a parent, or if they
62           are of type chassis. Looks at "entPhysicalSoftwareRev" for the
63           version.
