This is a Perl5 extension module which provides an interface to the
CMU-SNMPv2 library.
Description:
The basic operations offered by SNMP are provided through an object
oriented interface for modularity and ease of use. The primary object is
SNMP::Session which is implemented as a blessed hash reference. The
object supports 'get', 'set', and 'getNext' method calls. All calls are
blocking/synchronous (i.e., they must receive a response or timeout
before control is returned to the caller). The methods take a variety of
input argument formats(see test.pl and examp/* for examples). A
description of the objects data fields follow.
SNMP::Session
DestHost - default 'localhost', hostname or ip addr of SNMP agent
Community - default 'public', SNMP community string
Version - default '1', v1 support only for now
Timeout - default '1000000', micro-seconds before retry
Retries - default '5', retries before failure
RetryNoSuch - default '1', for get request NOSUCH errors, the pdu will
be repaired, removing the varbind in error, and resent -
undef will be returned for all NOSUCH varbinds, setting
to '0' disables this feature and the entire get request
will fail on any NOSUCH error
ErrorStr - read-only, returns a test description of any error occuring
in the last request
ErrorNum - read-only, returns the snmp_err or staus of last request
private
DestAddr - internal field used to hold the translated DestHost field
SessPtr - internal field used to cache a created session structure
