Ethernet Routing Switches (formerly Passport / Accelar)
AUTHOR
Eric Miller
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 Nortel Ethernet Routing Switches
(formerly Passport and Accelar Series Switches).
These devices have some of the same characteristics as the stackable
Nortel 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(...);

GLOBALS
These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP
$passport->model()
Returns model type. Checks $passport->id() against the RAPID-CITY-
MIB and then parses out "rcA".
$passport->vendor()
Returns 'nortel'
$passport->os()
Returns 'passport'
$passport->os_ver()
Returns the software version extracted from "sysDescr"
$passport->serial()
Returns ("rcChasSerialNumber")
$passport->root_ip()
Returns the primary IP used to communicate with the device.
Returns the first found: CLIP (CircuitLess IP), Management Virtual
IP ("rcSysVirtualIpAddr"), OSPF Router ID ("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.
$passport->slot_offset()
Required by SNMP::Info::SONMP. Returns 0.

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
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: nortel.
$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.
