SYNOPSIS
    #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";

DESCRIPTION
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.

For speed or debugging purposes you can call the subclass directly, but not after determining a more specific class using the method above.

my $nwss2300 = new SNMP::Info::Layer2::NWSS2300(...);

    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()
