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).
