Enterasys::NetSight

This module provides an abstraction layer between SOAP::Lite and the NetSight Device WebService and provides methods that parse return data into useful data structures.

For example the 'snmp' method in Enterasys::NetSight returns snmp creds for a given IP as a hash table which can be used with the perl SNMP module to create a new SNMP::Session object.

See perldoc for usage details.

INSTALLATION

You can use the cpan or cpanm CLI utility to install the package. This will attempt to satisfy all the dependencies for you.

You may need to download the OpenSSL header files in order to install the Crypt::SSLeay dependancy. In debian based systems you can install the headers with aptitude,

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

You may also need to download XML parsing headers,

sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev

If you wish to install manually you will need to install the SOAP::Lite module first. Download the tar.gz package and run the following,

tar -xvf Enterasys-NetSight-#.##.tar.gz
cd Enterasys-NetSight-#.##
perl Makefile.PL
make test
sudo make install

If make test fails you are probably missing SOAP::Lite or some other dependency.
