DESCRIPTION
SNMP::Info::EDP is a subclass of SNMP::Info that provides an object oriented interface to EDP information through SNMP.

EDP is a Layer 2 protocol that allows a network device to advertise its identity and capabilities on the local network providing topology information.

Create or use a device subclass that inherits this class. Do not use directly.

  Inherited Classes
None.

  Required MIBs

EXTREME-EDP-MIB

GLOBALS
These are methods that return scalar values from SNMP

$edp->hasEDP()
    Is EDP active on this device?

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

$edp->edp_id()
    Returns the string value used to identify the chassis component associated with the remote system.

    ("extremeEdpNeighborName")

$edp->edp_if()
    Returns the mapping to the SNMP Interface Table.

$edp->edp_ip()
    Returns remote IPv4 address.

$edp->edp_port()
    Returns remote port ID

$edp->edp_ver()
    Returns the operating system version of the remote system.

    Nulls are removed before the value is returned.
