SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       Abstraction subclass for modular Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series (formerly
       Nortel/Bay Passport/Accelar) and VSP 9000 Series switches.

       These devices have some of the same characteristics as the stackable Avaya Ethernet
       Switches (Baystack).  For example, extended interface information is gleaned from RAPID-
       CITY.

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

        my $passport = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::Passport(...);

           ("ospfRouterId"), SONMP Advertised IP Address.

   Overrides
       $passport->index_factor()
           Required by SNMP::Info::SONMP.  Returns 64 for 8600, 16 for Accelar.

       $passport->port_offset()
           Required by SNMP::Info::SONMP.  Returns 1.

TABLE METHODS

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

   Overrides
       $passport->i_index()
           Returns SNMP IID to Interface index.  Extends ("ifIndex") by adding the index of the
           CPU virtual management IP (if present), each CPU Ethernet port, and each VLAN to
           ensure the virtual router ports are captured.

       $passport->interfaces()
           Returns reference to the map between IID and physical Port.

           Slot and port numbers on the Passport switches are determined by the formula: port =
           ("ifIndex % index_factor") + port_offset, slot = int("ifIndex / index_factor").

           The physical port name is returned as slot.port.  CPU Ethernet ports are prefixed with
           CPU and VLAN interfaces are returned as the VLAN ID prefixed with Vlan.

       $passport->i_mac()
           MAC address of the interface.  Note this is just the MAC of the port, not anything
           connected to it.

       $passport->i_description()
           Description of the interface. Usually a little longer single word name that is both
           human and machine friendly.  Not always.

       $passport->i_name()
           Crosses rc_alias() ("rcPortName") with ifAlias() and returns the human set port name
           if exists.

       $passport->ip_index()
           Maps the IP Table to the IID.  Extends ("ipAdEntIfIndex") by adding the index of the
           CPU virtual management IP (if present) and each CPU Ethernet port.

       $passport->ip_netmask()
           Extends ("ipAdEntNetMask") by adding the mask of the CPU virtual management IP (if
           present) and each CPU Ethernet port.

       $passport->bp_index()
           Returns reference to hash of bridge port table entries map back to interface
           identifier (iid)

           Returns ("ifIndex") for both key and value since some devices seem to have problems
           with BRIDGE-MIB

   Forwarding Table
       These methods utilize, in order; Q-BRIDGE-MIB, BRIDGE-MIB, and RAPID-CITY to obtain the
       forwarding table information.

       $passport->fw_mac()
           Returns reference to hash of forwarding table MAC Addresses

           ("dot1qTpFdbAddress"), ("dot1dTpFdbAddress"), ("rcBridgeTpFdbAddress")

       $passport->fw_port()
           Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries port interface identifier (iid)

           ("dot1qTpFdbPort"), ("dot1dTpFdbPort"), ("rcBridgeTpFdbPort")

       $passport->fw_status()
           Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries status

           ("dot1qTpFdbStatus"), ("dot1dTpFdbStatus"), ("rcBridgeTpFdbStatus")

       $passport->qb_fw_vlan()
           Returns reference to hash of forwarding table entries VLAN ID

           ("dot1qFdbId"), ("rcBridgeTpFdbVlanId")

   Pseudo ENTITY-MIB information
       These devices do not support ENTITY-MIB.  These methods emulate Physical Table methods
       using the RAPID-CITY MIB.

       $passport->e_index()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key and Value: Integer. The index is created by combining
           the slot, module, and position into a five or six digit integer.  Slot can be either
           one or two digits while the module and position are each two digits padded with
           leading zero if required.

       $passport->e_class()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: General hardware type.  This class only
           returns container, module, and power supply types.

       $passport->e_descr()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: Human friendly name.

       $passport->e_name()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: Human friendly name.

       $passport->e_hwver()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: Hardware version.

       $passport->e_vendor()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: avaya.

       $passport->e_serial()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: Serial number.

       $passport->e_pos()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: The relative position among all entities
           sharing the same parent.

       $passport->e_type()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: Type of component/sub-component.

       $passport->e_parent()
           Returns reference to hash.  Key: IID, Value: The value of e_index() for the entity
           which 'contains' this entity.  A value of zero indicates   this entity is not
           contained in any other entity.
