Can I bulk add nodes that are offline?

I am looking to add 200 nodes that when online will respond to ICMP. These are for our new office and we have IPs assigned for each node but they are not online yet, how can I add them to Solarwinds?
I would have used Network Sonar if they were online but as they are not online yet, I would like to add them in preparation.
Any advice is appreciated.

You can but not sure you'd really want to, you'd have a hard time of it

In network discovery I dont think you can

in the api you can, but usually you want to trigger a list resources, and you cant coz offline

it's possible to either add all as like base/to-be-populated-later objects, or to make some sort of template and clone it a lot.

I'd just set up a network discovery ready, maybe even set it scheduled and automated if you're super confident

Thanks @adam.beedell will just add manually for now and add the rest when the network comes online.

Add them to a discovery job scheduled to run daily, as they come online, they get added
