I am new to ipam .how can i use the ipam to monitor our public internet address. A have added the subnet into on orion but its not able to monitor any ipr
If your IPAM implementation is on your LAN (inside your firewall/security perimeter), you'll need to verify that the firewall rules allow the connection.
As an aside, if you're monitoring your public IP to verify connectivity from your LAN to the Internet, a better bet is usually to set up monitoring of the carrier-side IP (the upstream gateway for your public IP). That tells you a lot more than if your router's up, instead letting you know that the entire connection is solid. Just my 2c. You may have to work with your ISP if you want to go beyond ICMP, but you can test pingability from your desktop if you know the address. If you know the mask of your public IP, then you can get the gateway easily.
Thanks rharland am going to check the firewall and revert
Hi rharland what protocol does ipam use for the scan
IPAM uses ICMP, SNMP, DNS, and WMI to perform its various functions. In this case, though, I would say that ICMP is what you want to focus on - as that is the mechanism of ping, which I'll bet initially tells IPAM 'this IP address is up' when the ping response comes back.
