 Methods

Recursivily crawls all CDP neighbours to build up a flat array of all devices indexed by the CDP device id.

crawl(array $devices, string $device, array $ignore) : array

Array form is same as that returned by neighbours()

see \neighbours()

Parameters

$devices

array

Unless you're doing something funky, just pass an empty array. This is where the result will be found.

$device

string

CDP device ID of next host to crawl. On first pass, set to null - used internally when recursing

$ignore

array

An array of CDP device IDs to ignore. I.e. to not include in recursive crawling

Returns

arrayThe resultant array of all crawled devices (same as that passed in the @param $devices parameter)

Get the time for the receiving device holds CDP message

globalHoldTime() : int

"The time for the receiving device holds CDP message. The default value is 180 seconds."

Returns

intThe time for the receiving device holds CDP message

The time when the cache table was last changed

globalLastChange() : int

"Indicates the time when the cache table was last changed. It is the most recent time at which any row was last created, modified or deleted."

Returns

intThe time (timeticks) when the cache table was last changed

Get the interval at which CDP messages are to be generated

globalMessageInterval() : int

"The interval at which CDP messages are to be generated. The default value is 60 seconds."

Returns

intThe interval at which CDP messages are to be generated

Get the device's global CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) run status

globalRun() : boolean

"An indication of whether the Cisco Discovery Protocol is currently running. Entries in cdpCacheTable are deleted when CDP is disabled."

Returns

booleanTrue if enabled globally, else false

Get the device's CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) ID

id() : string

Returns

stringThe device's CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) ID

Get the device's interfaces CDP enabled status

interfaceEnabled() : array

Applies the TruthValue post processor (self::ppTruthValue()) to turn SNMP values into true / false.

Returns

arrayThe device's interfaces CDP enabled status' (as boolean true / false)

Get the device's interface names as seen in CDP

interfaceNames() : array

"The name of the local interface as advertised by CDP in the Port-ID TLV"

Returns

arrayThe device's interface names as seen in CDP

Find the layer 2 topology as an array with no link mentioned more than once.

linkTopology(array $devices) : array

Huh? This function:

  • takes the result of crawl() (or calls crawl()) to get the CDP topology
  • foreach device, builds an array of device to device links
  • SO LONG as that link has already not been accounted for in the other direction.

I.e. if a link is found A -> B, then the same B -> A link will not be included

The array returned is, for example:

[cr-sw04.degkcp.example.ie] => Array ( [cd-sw02.degkcp.example.ie] => Array ( [GigabitEthernet1/0/3] => Array ( [remotePort] => FastEthernet0/1 [isLAG] => false )

 [cr-sw03.degkcp.example.ie] => Array
 (
     [GigabitEthernet1/0/23] => Array
     (
         [remotePort] => GigabitEthernet1/0/23
         [isLAG]      => false
     )
     [GigabitEthernet1/0/24] => Array
     (
         [remotePort] => GigabitEthernet1/0/24
         [isLAG]      => false
     )
 )

)

This tells us that cr-sw04(GigabitEthernet1/0/3) is connected to cd-sw02(FastEthernet0/1).

It also tells us that cr-sw04 has two connections to cr-sw03.

You'll notice it also tells us if it's a LAG or not. More information can be added as needed.

see \crawl()

Parameters

$devices

array

The result of crawl() (if null, this function performs a crawl())

Returns

arrayL2 topology as described above.

Get the CDP neighbours' address type indexed by the current device's port ID

neighbourAddressTypes(boolean $translate) : array

"An indication of the type of address contained in the corresponding instance of cdpCacheAddress"

Parameters

$translate

boolean

If true, return the string representation via self::$VTP_VLAN_TYPES

Returns

arrayThe CDP neighbours' address type indexed by the current device's port ID

Get the device's CDP neighbour addresses indexed by the current device's port ID

neighbourAddresses() : array

"The (first) network-layer address of the device as reported in the Address TLV of the most recently received CDP message. For example, if the corresponding instance of cacheAddressType had the value 'ip(1)', then this object would be an IPv4-address. If the neighbor device is SNMP-manageable, it is supposed to generate its CDP messages such that this address is one at which it will receive SNMP messages. Use cdpCtAddressTable to extract the remaining addresses from the Address TLV received most recently."

Returns

arrayThe device's CDP neighbour addresses indexed by the current device's port ID

Get an array of individual capabilities of a given neighbour (by connected port ID)

print_r( $host->useCisco_CDP()->neighbourCapabilities( 10111, true ) )

    [0] => "Switch"              // self::CDP_CACHE_NEIGHBOUR_CAPABILITY_SWITCH
    [1] => "IGMP Capable"        // self::CDP_CACHE_NEIGHBOUR_CAPABILITY_IGMP_CAPABLE
