Change Log¶

GLOBALS¶

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

$scalance->layers()

Overwrite snmp value, we support 1-3

$scalance->os()

Returns scalance

$scalance->vendor()

Returns siemens

$scalance->model()

extract a meaningful name from description

$scalance->mac()

use the dot1dBaseBridgeAddress

$scalance->os_ver()

clean up os_version string

$scalance->i_description()

siemens returns a description including firmware, switch serial, etc clean it up. Try to use anything past VLAN or Port. And if this fails past the last comma

$scalance->lldp_ip()

simatic does not implement lldpRemManAddrIfSubtype but remote system names are available try to resolve them via DNS and use that

TABLE METHODS¶

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