## SYNOPSIS

```
 # Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
 my $netgear = new SNMP::Info(
                          AutoSpecify => 1,
                          Debug       => 1,
                          DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                          Community   => 'public',
                          Version     => 2
                        )
    or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";
 my $class      = $netgear->class();
 print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";
```

## DESCRIPTION

Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from a Netgear device through SNMP. See inherited classes' documentation for inherited methods.

### Overrides

- $netgear-\>**vendor()**

  Returns 'netgear'

- $netgear-\>**os()**

- $netgear-\>**model()**

  Returns concatenation of `$e_model` and `$e_hwver` if Entity MIB present, otherwise returns **description()**

- $netgear-\>**os\_ver()**

  Returns OS Version.

- $netgear-\>**serial()**

  Returns Serial Number if available (older FS switches have no accessible serial number).
