NAME

NetAddr::BridgeID - Object for BridgeIDs (priority/MAC combos)

SYNOPSIS

   use NetAddr::BridgeID;
    
   my $bid;
   $bid = NetAddr::BridgeID->new( '2#00:11:22:aa:bb:cc' );
   $bid = NetAddr::BridgeID->new( bridge_id => '60#0011.22AA.BBCC' );
   
   use NetAddr::MAC;
   my $mac = NetAddr::MAC->new( mac => '0011.22AA.BBCC' );
   
   $bid = NetAddr::BridgeID->new( priority => '60', mac_obj => $mac );
   $bid = NetAddr::BridgeID->new( priority => '60', mac => '0011.22AA.BBCC' );

DESCRIPTION

This object class simply creates a NetAddr::MAC-like object, with a priority for STP Bridge IDs.

METHODS

original

The original bridge ID string, as it was passed to the constructor. If it was passed in pieces (or if parts were left out), it will fill in the gaps to provide a full bridge ID

bridge_id

The bridge ID, with a Cisco-style MAC address (like 0000.1111.2222).

priority

The priority number.

mac_obj

The NetAddr::MAC object tied to this one.

NetAddr::MAC Methods

All of the is_* / as_* / to_* methods are "handled" to the main BridgeID object, so you can access them directly.
