More About Infoblox_Job.pm

Although the majority of Perl scripts will include Infoblox_Job.pm, a Perl script may do other tasks beyond communicating with the target device. For example, a Perl script can transmit acquired target device information (which is available via well-known variables in the script) with a trouble ticketing system that resides elsewhere on the network. In this case, though including Infoblox_Job.pm is permitted, doing s o would be unnecessary (why establish a CLI connection with the target device when no CLI actions are taken?).
The standard Infoblox_Job.pm initialization sequence and functions establish a DIS session and a CLI connection with the target device. A DIS session can support multiple CLI connections. You may develop more advanced use cases in which Perl scripts establish simultaneous connections to multiple network devices in addition to the target device. In this scenario, the Perl script must obtain the DeviceIDs for the non-target network devices and directly use the v2 API functionality to communicate with them (i.e. basically do the equivalent of open_connection(),send_command(), and so on).
