.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
SNMP::Info gives an object oriented interface to information obtained through
\&\s-1SNMP.\s0
.PP
This module is geared towards network devices. Subclasses exist for a number
of network devices and common MIBs.
.PP
The idea behind this module is to give a common interface to data from network
devices, leaving the device-specific hacks behind the scenes in subclasses.
.PP
In the \s-1SYNOPSIS\s0 example we fetch the name of all the ports on the device and
the duplex setting for that port with two methods \*(-- \fBinterfaces()\fR and
\&\fBi_duplex()\fR.
.PP
The information may be coming from any number of \s-1MIB\s0 files and is very vendor
specific. SNMP::Info provides you a common method for all supported devices.
.PP
Adding support for your own device is easy, and takes little \s-1SNMP\s0 knowledge.
.PP
The module is not limited to network devices. Any \s-1MIB\s0 or device can be given
an objected oriented front-end by making a module that consists of a couple
hashes. See \s-1EXTENDING SNMP::INFO.\s0
.SH "REQUIREMENTS"
.IX Header "REQUIREMENTS"
.IP "1. Net-SNMP" 4
.IX Item "1. Net-SNMP"
To use this module, you must have Net-SNMP installed on your system.
More specifically you need the Perl modules that come with it.
.Sp
\&\s-1DO NOT INSTALL SNMP::\s0 or Net::SNMP from \s-1CPAN\s0!
.Sp
The \s-1SNMP\s0 module is matched to an install of net-snmp, and must be installed
from the net-snmp source tree.
.Sp
The Perl module \f(CW\*(C`SNMP\*(C'\fR is found inside the net-snmp distribution. Go to the
\&\fIperl/\fR directory of the distribution to install it, or run
\&\f(CW\*(C`./configure \-\-with\-perl\-modules\*(C'\fR from the top directory of the net-snmp
distribution.
.Sp
Net-SNMP can be found at http://net\-snmp.sourceforge.net
.Sp
Version 5.3.2 or greater is recommended.
.Sp
Versions 5.0.1, 5.0301 and 5.0203 have issues with bulkwalk and are not supported.
.Sp
\&\fBRedhat Users\fR: Some versions that come with certain versions of
Redhat/Fedora don't have the Perl library installed. Uninstall the \s-1RPM\s0 and
install by hand.
.IP "2. \s-1MIBS\s0" 4
.IX Item "2. MIBS"
SNMP::Info operates on textual descriptors found in MIBs.
.Sp
If you are using SNMP::Info separate from Netdisco,
download the Netdisco \s-1MIB\s0 package at
.Sp
Make sure that your snmp.conf is updated to point to your \s-1MIB\s0 directory
and that the MIBs are world-readable.

.PD
All values are retrieved via \s-1MIB\s0 Leaf node names
.Sp
For example SNMP::Info has an entry in its \f(CW%GLOBALS\fR hash for ``sysName''
instead of 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Data returned is in the enumerated value form.
.Sp
For Example instead of looking up 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3 and getting back \f(CW23\fR
.Sp
SNMP::Info will ask for \f(CW\*(C`RFC1213\-MIB::ifType\*(C'\fR and will get back \f(CW\*(C`ppp\*(C'\fR.

.IP "2. SNMP::Info is easily extended to new devices" 4
.IX Item "2. SNMP::Info is easily extended to new devices"
You can create a new subclass for a device by providing four hashes :
\&\f(CW%GLOBALS\fR, \f(CW%MIBS\fR, \f(CW%FUNCS\fR, and \f(CW%MUNGE\fR.
.Sp
Or you can override any existing methods from a parent class by making a short
subroutine.
.Sp
See the section \s-1EXTENDING SNMP::INFO\s0 for more details.
.Sp
When you make a new subclass for a device, please be sure to send it back
to the developers (via a github pull request or the mailing list) for inclusion
in the next version.
.SH "SUBCLASSES"

These are the subclasses that implement MIBs and support devices:
.PP
Required MIBs not included in the install instructions above are noted here.
.SS "\s-1MIB\s0 Subclasses"

These subclasses implement method to access one or more MIBs. These are not
used directly, but rather inherited from device subclasses.

not object.
.Sp
(default 0, which means \*(L"off\*(R")
.IP "BulkWalk" 4
.IX Item "BulkWalk"
Set to \f(CW0\fR to turn off \s-1BULKWALK\s0 commands for SNMPv2 connections.
.Sp
Note that \s-1BULKWALK\s0 is turned off for Net-SNMP versions 5.1.x because of a bug.

.Sp
(default 20)
.IP "LoopDetect" 4
.IX Item "LoopDetect"
Detects looping during getnext table column walks by comparing IIDs for each
instance. A loop is detected if the same \s-1IID\s0 is seen more than once and the
walk is aborted. Note: This will not detect loops during a bulkwalk
operation, Net-SNMP's internal bulkwalk function must detect the loop.
.Sp
Set to \f(CW0\fR to turn off loop detection.
.Sp
(default 1, which means \*(L"on\*(R")
.IP "IgnoreNetSNMPConf" 4
.IX Item "IgnoreNetSNMPConf"
Net-SNMP version 5.0 and higher read configuration files, snmp.conf or
snmp.local.conf, from /etc/snmp, /usr/share/snmp, /usr/lib(64)/snmp, or
\&\f(CW$HOME\fR/.snmp and uses those settings to automatically parse \s-1MIB\s0 files, etc.
.Sp
Set to \f(CW1\fR \*(L"on\*(R" to ignore Net-SNMP configuration files by overriding the
\&\f(CW\*(C`SNMPCONFPATH\*(C'\fR environmental variable during object initialization. Note:
MibDirs must be defined or Net-SNMP will not be able to load MIBs and
initialize the object.
.Sp
(default 0, which means \*(L"off\*(R")
.IP "Debug" 4
.IX Item "Debug"
Prints Lots of debugging messages.
Pass 2 to print even more debugging messages.
.Sp
(default 0, which means \*(L"off\*(R")
.IP "DebugSNMP" 4

.IX Item "RetryNoSuch"
When using \s-1SNMP\s0 Version 1, try reading values even if they come back as \*(L"no
such variable in this \s-1MIB\*(R".\s0 Set to false if so desired. This feature lets
you read SNMPv2 data from an \s-1SNMP\s0 version 1 connection, and should probably
be left on.

.IP "Session" 4
.IX Item "Session"
SNMP::Session object to use instead of connecting on own.
.Sp
(default creates session automatically)
.IP "Offline" 4
.IX Item "Offline"
Causes SNMP::Info to avoid network activity and return data only from its
cache. If you ask for something not in the cache, an error is thrown. See
also the \f(CW\*(C`cache()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`offline()\*(C'\fR methods.
.Sp
(default 0, which means \*(L"online\*(R")
.IP "Cache" 4
.IX Item "Cache"

\&\f(CW\*(C`cache()\*(C'\fR method to retrieve a cache after running actial queries.
.IP "\s-1OTHER\s0" 4
.IX Item "OTHER"
All other arguments are passed to SNMP::Session.
.Sp
See SNMP::Session for a list of other possible arguments.
.RE
.RS 4
.Sp
A Note about the wrong Community string or wrong \s-1SNMP\s0 Version:
.Sp
If a connection is using the wrong community string or the wrong \s-1SNMP\s0 version,
the creation of the object will not fail. The device still answers the call
on the \s-1SNMP\s0 port, but will not return information. Check the \fBerror()\fR method
after you create the device object to see if there was a problem in
connecting.
.Sp
A note about \s-1SNMP\s0 Versions :
.Sp
Some older devices don't support \s-1SNMP\s0 version 2, and will not return anything
when a connection under Version 2 is attempted.
.Sp
Some newer devices will support Version 1, but will not return all the data
they might have if you had connected under Version 1.
.Sp
When trying to get info from a new device, you may have to try version 2 and
then fallback to version 1.
.RE
.IP "\fBupdate()\fR" 4
.IX Item "update()"
Replace the existing session with a new one with updated values,
without re-identifying the device. The only supported changes are
to Community or Context.
.Sp
Clears the object cache.
.Sp
This is useful, e.g., when a device supports multiple contexts
(via changes to the Community string, or via the SNMPv3 Context
parameter), but a context that you want to access does not support
the objects (e.g., \f(CW\*(C`sysObjectID\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`sysDescr\*(C'\fR) that we use to identify
the device.
.SS "Data is Cached"
.IX Subsection "Data is Cached"
Methods and subroutines requesting data from a device will only load the data
once, and then return cached versions of that data.
.PP
Run \f(CW$info\fR\->\fBload_METHOD()\fR where method is something like 'i_name' to reload
data from a method.
.PP
Run \f(CW$info\fR\->\fBclear_cache()\fR to clear the cache to allow reload of both globals
and table methods.
.PP
The cache can be retrieved or set using the \f(CW$info\fR\->\fBcache()\fR method. This works
together with the \f(CW\*(C`Offline\*(C'\fR option.

The common topology table methods below will query the
device for information from the specified topology protocols and return a
single hash combining all information. As a result, there may be identical
topology information returned from the two protocols causing duplicate
entries. It is the calling program's responsibility to identify any
duplicate entries and remove duplicates if necessary. If it is necessary
to understand which protocol provided the information, utilize the protocol
specific methods directly rather than the generic methods.

The methods support partial table fetches by providing a partial as the
first argument.

.SS "Gathering \s-1MIB\s0 data for SNMP::Info Developers"
.IX Subsection "Gathering MIB data for SNMP::Info Developers"
The preference is to open a pull request in the github project. This
allows all developers to have visibility into the request. Please include
pointers to the applicable platform MIBs. For development we will need an
\&\f(CW\*(C`snmpwalk\*(C'\fR of the device. There is a tool now included in the SNMP::Info
distribution to help with this task, although you'll most likely need to
download the distribution from \s-1CPAN\s0 as it's included in the "\f(CW\*(C`contrib/util\*(C'\fR"

.PP
The utility is named \f(CW\*(C`make_snmpdata.pl\*(C'\fR. Run it with a command line like:

This will print to the file every \s-1MIB\s0 entry with data in a format that the
developers can use to emulate read operations without needing access to the

feel comfortable uploading the output to the tracker you could e\-mail it
