## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

Abstraction subclass for Avaya/Nortel VPN Routers (formerly Contivity Extranet Switch).

### Inherited Classes

- SNMP::Info::Layer3

  ### Required MIBs

- Inherited Classes' MIBs

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

## GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

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

  Returns 'avaya'

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

  Returns the chassis name.

  (`"entPhysicalModelName.1"`)

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

  Returns `'contivity'`

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

  Returns the software version extracted from (`"sysDescr"`).

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

  Returns the chassis serial number.

  (`"entPhysicalSerialNum.1"`)

- $contivity-\>**mac()**

  Returns the MAC address of the first Ethernet Interface.

### Overrides

- $contivity-\>**layers()**

  Returns 00000100.  Contivity does not support bridge MIB, so override reported layers.

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

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

## TABLE METHODS

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

### Overrides

- $contivity-\>**interfaces()**

  Returns reference to the map between IID and physical Port.  Skips loopback and tunnel interfaces.

- $contivity-\>**i\_name()**

  Interface Name field.  Skips loopback and tunnel interfaces.
