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.
