In all examples we need some option to invert apply behavior so it applies 
resources that are apply_to_device/apply_to_all, and skip apply_to_host. This 
is why the original ticket proposed the option `--allow_device`, I don't know 
if there's a better name for this flag.

Feature #9657: Improve puppet apply to support network device
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9657

Author: Nan Liu
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Randall Hansen
Category: 
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.3
Keywords: network, device
Branch: 


After writing additional network device, it seems reasonable to support device 
in puppet apply. Currently network resources are skipped:

    debug: /Stage[main]//F5_virtualserver[www-http]: Skipping device resources 
because running on a host
    debug: /Stage[main]//F5_virtualserver[www-https]: Skipping device resources 
because running on a host

Rather than having two separate modules with slight differences (see: 
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-f5/issues/42). It makes sense to 
ensure puppet resource and puppet apply also supports --deviceconfig option.
