| Summary : Perl extension for representing and manipulating MAC addresses
|
Description :
This is a module that allows you to
- store a MAC address in a Perl object
- find out information about a stored MAC address
- convert a MAC address into a specified format
- easily compare two MAC addresses for string or numeric equality
There are quite a few different ways that MAC addresses may be represented
in textual form. The most common is arguably colon-delimited octets in
hexadecimal form. When working with Cisco devices, however, you are more
likely to encounter addresses that are dot-delimited 16-bit groups in
hexadecimal form. In the Windows world, addresses are usually
dash-delimited octets in hexadecimal form. MAC addresses in a Sun ethers
file are usually non-zero-padded, colon-delimited hexadecimal octets. And
sometimes, you come across dot-delimited octets in decimal form (certain
Cisco SNMP MIBS actually use this). Hence the need for a common way to
represent and manipulate MAC addresses in Perl.
There is a surprising amount of complexity involved in converting MAC
addresses between types. This module does not attempt to understand all
possible ways of representing a MAC address in a string, though most of the
common ways of representing MAC addresses are supported.
