Help needed in Node discovery

Question

Hi All,

Recently, we are using Solar winds tool & now in the procees of adding all our client location gateways into Soalr winds for NPM.

Yesterday I faced an issue as below,

I am discovering the devices by using the subnet range(Eg.10.119.16.0 / 255.255.255.0 ) . In one location , solar winds discovering the devices with the IP Address as subnet i.e) the discovered device IP as 10.119.16.0 . Even in many subnets it is discovering this kind of IP Address.

After it discovered the deivce, the device status is automatically going down . Its still in down state only. But , this problem is existing in only one location.For the remaining locations, I am not facing this issue.

Also we are sure that, there is no device with that IP Address in our infrastructure.

Kindly provide your thoughts on this issue.

Regards,

TCTSL

I have a number of devices that get discovered as such, in addition to the actual host address.

Running NPM 10.3.1

I haven't reported this as an issue because I recall someone else mentioning this in the forums and I think it was mentioned that this was fixed in 10.4

Is the 10.119.16.0 range configured as a /24? Sounds like it may not be.
