Please read the section above, if you've not yet done so.

Netdisco has four principal job types:

 | 
			
		||||
=over 4
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
=item discover
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Gather information about a Device, including interfaces, vlans, PoE status,
 | 
			
		||||
and chassis components (modules). Also learns about potential new Devices via
 | 
			
		||||
neighbor protocols and adds jobs for their discovery to the queue.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
=item macsuck
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Gather MAC to port mappings from known Devices reporting Layer 2 capability.
 | 
			
		||||
Wireless client information is also gathered from Devices supporting the
 | 
			
		||||
802.11 MIBs.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
=item arpnip
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Gather MAC to IP mappings from known Devices reporting layer 3 capability.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
=item nbtstat
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Poll a Node to obtain its NetBIOS name.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
=back
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The actions as named above will operate on one device only. Complimentary job
 | 
			
		||||
types C<discoverall>, C<macwalk>, C<arpwalk>, and C<nbtwalk> will enqueue one
 | 
			
		||||
corresponding single-device job for each known device. The Netdisco backend
 | 
			
		||||
daemon will then process the queue (in a random order).
