Nodes with multiple IP's

lufffunk

Has anything been progressed to allow linking of multiple IP's to a single node? For example, a firewall with multiple interfaces.

I can see there's a feature request and several locked posts.

Generally, the node IP is what you contact to get information, and for system with many IPs, I poll a management IP with SNMP (or other protocols) and alert on the status set by the device in that set up data. If you need to ping every interface, you can, but generally if a device has multiple IPs the monitoring server can't even reach all of them (like on firewalls) via ICMP. I'd pursue setting up a Universal device poller, or possibly a SAM Template to get the information you want.
