<p>NetAddr::BridgeID - Object for BridgeIDs (priority/MAC combos)</p>
<h1><a class='u'
name="SYNOPSIS"
>SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
<pre> use NetAddr::BridgeID;
my $bid;
$bid = NetAddr::BridgeID->new( '2#00:11:22:aa:bb:cc' );

<h1><a class='u'
name="DESCRIPTION"
>DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>This object class simply creates a <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?NetAddr%3A%3AMAC" class="podlinkpod"
>NetAddr::MAC</a>-like object, with a priority for STP Bridge IDs.</p>
<h1><a class='u'
name="METHODS"
>METHODS</a></h1>
<h2><a class='u'
name="original"
>original</a></h2>
<p>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</p>
<h2><a class='u'
name="bridge_id"
>bridge_id</a></h2>
<p>The bridge ID, with a Cisco-style MAC address (like <code>0000.1111.2222</code>).</p>
<h2><a class='u'
name="priority"
>priority</a></h2>
<p>The priority number.</p>
<h2><a class='u'
name="mac_obj"
>mac_obj</a></h2>
<p>The <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?NetAddr%3A%3AMAC" class="podlinkpod"
>NetAddr::MAC</a> object tied to this one.</p>
<h2><a class='u'
name="NetAddr::MAC_Methods"
>NetAddr::MAC Methods</a></h2>
<p>All of the <code>is_* / as_* / to_*</code> methods are "handled" to the main BridgeID object, so you can access them directly.</p>
