SNMP::Info::Layer2::NWSS2300 - SNMP Interface to Avaya (Trapeze) Wireless Controllers

Eric Miller

    #Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.

    my $nwss2300 = new SNMP::Info(
                          AutoSpecify => 1,
                          Debug       => 1,
                          DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                          Community   => 'public',
                          Version     => 2
                        )

    or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

    my $class = $nwss2300->class();
    print " Using device sub class : $class\n";

Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from Avaya (Trapeze) Wireless Controllers through SNMP.

This class emulates bridge functionality for the wireless switch. This enables end station MAC addresses collection and correlation to the thin access point the end station is using for communication.

SNMP::Info::Layer2

NTWS-REGISTRATION-DEVICES-MIB
NTWS-AP-STATUS-MIB
NTWS-CLIENT-SESSION-MIB
NTWS-SYSTEM-MIB

$nwss2300->i_index()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to Interface index.

Extends "ifIndex" to support thin APs and WLAN virtual interfaces as device interfaces.

$nwss2300->interfaces()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to ports. Thin APs are implemented as device interfaces. The thin AP MAC address and Slot ID nwss2300_apif_slot() are used as the port identifier.
$nwss2300->i_name()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to interface names. Returns "ifName" for Ethernet interfaces and nwss2300_ap_name() for thin AP interfaces.
$nwss2300->i_description()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to interface types. Returns "ifDescr" for Ethernet interfaces, nwss2300_ap_name() for thin AP interfaces.
$nwss2300->i_type()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to interface descriptions. Returns "ifType" for Ethernet interfaces and 'capwapWtpVirtualRadio' for thin AP interfaces.
$nwss2300->i_up()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to link status of the interface. Returns "ifOperStatus" for Ethernet interfaces and nwss2300_apif_admin() for thin AP interfaces.
$nwss2300->i_up_admin()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to administrative status of the interface. Returns "ifAdminStatus" for Ethernet interfaces and nwss2300_apif_admin() for thin AP interfaces.
$nwss2300->i_mac()
Returns reference to map of IIDs to MAC address of the interface. Returns "ifPhysAddress" for Ethernet interfaces.
$nwss2300->bp_index()
Simulates bridge MIB by returning reference to a hash mapping i_index() to the interface iid.
$nwss2300->fw_port()
Returns reference to a hash, value being mac and nwss2300_sta_slot() combined to match the interface iid.
$nwss2300->fw_mac()
Extracts the MAC from the nwss2300_sta_serial() index.

The controller snoops on the MAC->IP mappings. Using this as ARP cache data allows us to get MAC->IP mappings even for stations that only communicate locally. The data is gathered from nwss2300_sta_ip().
$nwss2300->at_paddr()
Returns reference to hash of Pseudo Arp Cache Entries to MAC address
$nwss2300->at_netaddr()
Returns reference to hash of Pseudo Arp Cache Entries to IP Address

These methods emulate ENTITY-MIB Physical Table methods using NTWS-AP-STATUS-MIB. Thin APs are included as subcomponents of the wireless controller.
$nwss2300->e_index()
Returns reference to hash. Key: IID and Value: Integer. The index for APs is created with an integer representation of the last three octets of the AP MAC address.

$nwss2300->e_descr()

Returns reference to hash. Key: IID, Value: Firmware revision.
$nwss2300->e_swver()
Returns reference to hash. Key: IID, Value: Software revision.
