get_device( $ip )
Given an IP address, returns a DBIx::Class::Row object for the Device in the Netdisco database. The IP can be for any interface on the device.
If for any reason $ip
is already a DBIx::Class
Device object, then it is simply returned.
If the device or interface IP is not known to Netdisco a new Device object is created for the IP, and returned. This object is in-memory only and not yet stored to the database.
is_discoverable( $ip, $device_type? )
Given an IP address, returns true
if Netdisco on this host is permitted by the local configuration to discover the device.
The configuration items discover_no
and discover_only
are checked against the given IP.
If $device_type
is also given, then discover_no_type
will also be checked.
Returns false if the host is not permitted to discover the target device.
is_arpnipable( $ip )
Given an IP address, returns true
if Netdisco on this host is permitted by the local configuration to arpnip the device.
The configuration items arpnip_no
and arpnip_only
are checked against the given IP.
Returns false if the host is not permitted to arpnip the target device.
is_macsuckable( $ip )
Given an IP address, returns true
if Netdisco on this host is permitted by the local configuration to macsuck the device.
The configuration items macsuck_no
and macsuck_only
are checked against the given IP.
Returns false if the host is not permitted to macsuck the target device.
