Dynamic IP address & Network discovery many devices

Hi,

The idea is to discover thousands devices that are configured with a dynamic IP address

Those devices are "ICMP only"

The option "dynamic ip address" is not available when selecting multiple nodes and editing the node properties

Any idea on :

to turn on this option after the import of those devices in NPM ?

If if it is liked to the DNS hostname field that should be filled, how to do a bulk import based on a file (and the node name) ?

Best regards,

Pierre

  • Noticed we had lots enabled for Dynamic but no address picked up by DNS for it so Dynamic was not going to work - chose to clear those out for now.

    Dynamic IP but no DNS to resolve to

    SELECT Nodes.NodeID,

                  Nodes.Caption,

                  Nodes.IP_Address,

                  Nodes.DNS,

                  Nodes.ObjectSubType

    FROM [dbo].[Nodes]

    where dynamicip = 1 and DNS = ''

    or to show all show the valid entries:

    Dynamic IP devices and DNS resolved to

    SELECT Nodes.NodeID,

                  Nodes.Caption,

                  Nodes.IP_Address,

                  Nodes.DNS,

                  Nodes.ObjectSubType

    FROM [dbo].[Nodes]

    where dynamicip = 1 and DNS != ''
