IP Address Ranges

Use IP Address Ranges to discover specific devices or groups of manageable devices on remote subnets. You can specify an unlimited number of IP address ranges to discover devices. Do not specify a IP address range that corresponds to the subnet of the SmartSystems server.

To configure an IP address range

  1. Expand the IP Address Ranges folder.
  2. Highlight IPAddressRangeInstance Template and then right-click. A pop-up menu appears.
  3. From the pop-up menu, choose create instance.
  4. Type the IP address where you want to start the range. In the example below, the start of the IP address range is 192.168.1.100.
  5. Expand the new instance folder and type the number of IP address in the range. In the example below, the number of IP addresses is 25.
  6. From the Main Menu, choose File > Save Settings. A new IP address range  instance appears under IP Address Ranges:

After you create one or more IP address range instances, you can discover devices within the specified IP address ranges by clicking the Discover button on the SmartSystems console.
