So far, all you do (in IP Device Info) is the DNS lookup. For any IP address you can
check whether it matches any of the prefices registered in NAV. If it
matches, we want to show details about the prefix and the associated
VLAN: CIDR of subnet, vlan id, vlan usage, vlan description, vlan
organization, and perhaps organizational contact data (opt1-3).
The next thing you can do is check if there are any ARP entries for
the given IP address. Instead of doing the ipinfo
"confusion-
timestamp of the latest ARP record that matches the IP address and
make that text a hyperlink to the machine tracker IP search.
By implementing this, you'll have replaced all but one feature of the
ipinfo tool, and that's the local output config feature. Which we
need to rewrite into something else, as described in my previous
post.
