GraphQL - Retrieve corresponding Prefix/VLAN for ipv4_address

[adn77]

I was hoping to use a single request for retrieving the MAC and VLAN for devices in order to update our switches with that information.

The only relation from ip_address to some "upstream" object I could find is the vrf. There doesn't seem to be a direct relation to the prefixes which would be much easier.

Hence I need to filter on the prefixes. Is there any way to do this dynamically, referencing the address?

{
  device_list(filters: { AND: {role: {slug: {exact: "printers" } }, status: {exact: STATUS_ACTIVE} } }) {
    name
    interfaces(filters: {name: { exact: "LAN1" } } ){
      mac_addresses {
        mac_address
      }
    }
    primary_ip4 {
      address
      dns_name
      vrf {
        prefixes(filters: {prefix: {contains: "192.168.73"} }) {
          vlan {
            vid
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

It can be argued that one could simply assign a VLAN to an interface. But in the case of a client device this is not what's happening (the switch access port is assigned a VLAN).

There's also the "Prefixes and VLAN role" relationship, which might actually work. But then why assign VLANs at prefixes directly?

Looks like the feature has already been proposed in this PR #19121
