You're close.  I would add support for CISCO-PORT-SECURITY-MIB into
SNMP::Info::CiscoStack -- that is a Cisco-specific location that would make
more sense then having the data available for all devices. 

I'm not familiar at all with Cisco's Port Security feature, so I'm not
sure why it doesn't fill the forwarding tables like normal.  What models of
cisco devices do you see this on, by the way?

Don't forget to send your changes back to me so I can incorporate them into
the next version of SNMP::Info.

Thanks,
