## SYNOPSIS

```
 my $edp = new SNMP::Info (
                             AutoSpecify => 1,
                             Debug       => 1,
                             DestHost    => 'router',
                             Community   => 'public',
                             Version     => 2
                           );
 my $class = $edp->class();
 print " Using device sub class : $class\n";
 $hasedp   = $edp->hasEDP() ? 'yes' : 'no';
 # Print out a map of device ports with EDP neighbors:
 my $interfaces   = $edp->interfaces();
 my $edp_if       = $edp->edp_if();
 my $edp_ip       = $edp->edp_ip();
 my $edp_port     = $edp->edp_port();
 foreach my $edp_key (keys %$edp_ip){
    my $iid           = $edp_if->{$edp_key};
    my $port          = $interfaces->{$iid};
    my $neighbor      = $edp_ip->{$edp_key};
    my $neighbor_port = $edp_port->{$edp_key};
    print "Port : $port connected to $neighbor / $neighbor_port\n";
 }
```

## DESCRIPTION

SNMP::Info::EDP is a subclass of SNMP::Info that provides an object oriented interface to EDP information through SNMP.

EDP is a Layer 2 protocol that allows a network device to advertise its identity and capabilities on the local network providing topology information.

Create or use a device subclass that inherits this class.  Do not use directly.

### Inherited Classes

None.

### Required MIBs

- *EXTREME-EDP-MIB*

  ## GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar values from SNMP

- $edp-\>**hasEDP()**

  Is EDP active on this device?

## TABLE METHODS

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

- $edp-\>**edp\_id()**

  Returns the string value used to identify the chassis component associated with the remote system.

  (`"extremeEdpNeighborName"`)

- $edp-\>**edp\_if()**

  Returns the mapping to the SNMP Interface Table.

- $edp-\>**edp\_ip()**

  Returns remote IPv4 address.

- $edp-\>**edp\_port()**

  Returns remote port ID

- $edp-\>**edp\_ver()**

  Returns the operating system version of the remote system.

  Nulls are removed before the value is returned.
