# SNMP::Info::Layer3::C6500(3pm)

SNMP Interface to Cisco Catalyst 6500 Layer 2/3 Switches running IOS and/or CatOS. Also Cisco Catalyst 2960, 2970, 3750 and 3850 series and blade switch CBS30x0 and CBS31x0 series running IOS.

## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

```
 # Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
 my $c6500 = new SNMP::Info(
                        AutoSpecify => 1,
                        Debug       => 1,
                        # These arguments are passed directly to SNMP::Session
                        DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                        Community   => 'public',
                        Version     => 2
                        )
    or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";
 my $class      = $c6500->class();
 print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";
```

## DESCRIPTION

Abstraction subclass for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Layer 2/3 Switches.

These devices run IOS but have some of the same characteristics as the Catalyst WS-C family (5xxx). For example, forwarding tables are held in VLANs, and extended interface information is gleaned from *CISCO-SWITCH-MIB*.

It also supports the following IOS only series switches: Cisco Catalyst 2960, 2970, 3750 and 3850 series. Also blade switches from the CBS30x0 and CBS31x0 series.

### Inherited Classes

- SNMP::Info::CiscoStack

  - SNMP::Info::Layer3::CiscoSwitch

  - SNMP::Info::MAU

  ### Required MIBs

- *CISCO-VIRTUAL-SWITCH-MIB*

  - Inherited Classes' MIBs

  See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::CiscoStack for its own MIB requirements.

  See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer3::CiscoSwitch for its own MIB requirements.

  See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::MAU for its own MIB requirements.

## GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

- $c6500-\>**vendor()**

  Returns 'cisco'

- $c6500-\>**cvsSwitchMode()**

  Returns the Switch status: multiNode or standalone.

- $c6500-\>**is\_virtual\_switch()**

  Return 1 if the switch (`"cvsSwitchMode"`) is in multimode (VSS).

- $c6500-\>**serial()**

  Returns serial number of unit (falls back to `"entPhysicalSerialNum"`).

### Globals imported from SNMP::Info::CiscoStack

See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::CiscoStack for details.

### Globals imported from SNMP::Info::Layer3::CiscoSwitch

See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer3::CiscoSwitch for details.

### Globals imported from SNMP::Info::MAU

See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::MAU for details.

## TABLE METHODS

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

### Overrides

- $c6500-\>**i\_duplex()**

  Returns reference to hash of iid to current link duplex setting.

  Newer software versions return duplex based upon the result of `$c6500`-\>**el\_duplex()**.  Otherwise it uses the result of the call to **CiscoStack::i\_duplex()**.

  See SNMP::Info::EtherLike for **el\_duplex()** method and SNMP::Info::CiscoStack for its **i\_duplex()** method.

- $c6500-\>**i\_duplex\_admin()**

  Returns reference to hash of iid to administrative duplex setting.

  Newer software versions return duplex based upon the result of `$c6500`-\>**p\_duplex()**.  Otherwise it uses the result of the call to **CiscoStack::i\_duplex()**.

  See SNMP::Info::CiscoStack for its **i\_duplex()** and **p\_duplex()** methods.

- $c6500-\>set\_i\_duplex\_admin(duplex, ifIndex)

  Sets port duplex, must be supplied with duplex and port `"ifIndex"`.

  Speed choices are 'auto', 'half', 'full'.

  Crosses `$c6500`-\>**p\_port()** with `$c6500`-\>**p\_duplex()** to utilize port `"ifIndex"`.

  ```
      Example:
      my %if_map = reverse %{$c6500->interfaces()};
      $c6500->set_i_duplex_admin('auto', $if_map{'FastEthernet0/1'})
          or die "Couldn't change port duplex. ",$c6500->error(1);
  ```

- $c6500-\>set\_i\_speed\_admin(speed, ifIndex)

  Sets port speed, must be supplied with speed and port `"ifIndex"`.

  Speed choices are '10', '100', '1000'.

  Crosses `$c6500`-\>**p\_port()** with `$c6500`-\>**p\_speed()** to utilize port `"ifIndex"`.
