## SYNOPSIS

```
 # Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
 my $pfront = new SNMP::Info(

                          Debug       => 1,
                          DestHost    => 'myrouter',
                          Community   => 'public',

## DESCRIPTION

Subclass for PacketFront devices

### Inherited Classes

- SNMP::Info::Layer3

  ### Required MIBs

- *UCD-SNMP-MIB*

  - *NET-SNMP-TC*

  - *HOST-RESOURCES-MIB*

  - *PACKETFRONT-PRODUCTS-MIB*

  - *PACKETFRONT-DRG-MIB*

  - Inherited Classes' MIBs

  See SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements.

## GLOBALS

These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP

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

  Returns `'packetfront'`.

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

  Returns the OS extracted from `"sysDescr"`.

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

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

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

  Returns the value of `"productSerialNo"`.

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

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

## TABLE ENTRIES

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

### Overrides

- $pfront-\>**i\_ignore()**

  Returns reference to hash.  Increments value of IID if port is to be ignored.

  Ignores loopback

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

  L2 capability isn't always reported correctly by the device itself; what the device reports is augmented with L2 capability if the device has bridge ports.
