Subnet node

A Subnet node represents an IP subnet on which IP addresses have been scanned.

Subnet Lifecycle

The following section describes the scenarios in which a Subnet node is created, updated or destroyed.

Creation

A new Subnet node is created in the datastore when a host, network device, printer, or SNMP managed device is scanned and its DiscoveredIPAddress is on a subnet that is not represented in the datastore. Subnet nodes are not created for the IPv6 link local prefix.

The generated key for a Subnet node is based on the IP range.

Update

A Subnet node's identity and entire data content are the same thing and are consequently not updated.

Removal

To remove a Subnet node manually, find the necessary Subnet node, select it in the list and pick Destroy from the Actions list.

Subnet Attributes

The attributes and relationships of a Subnet node are described in the tables below.

UI Name Attribute Name and Type	Description
Key `key string`	Unique key.
Type `type string`	IP address type (IPv4 or IPv6).
IP range `ip_address_range string`	Range of IP addresses in this subnet.

Subnet Relationships

The relationships of a Subnet node are described in the table below.

UI name	Relationship	Description
IP Addresses	`Subnet: Subnet: DeviceSubnet: DeviceOnSubnet: IPAddress`	IP addresses on this subnet.
Triggering DiscoveredIPAddress	`Subnet: InferredElement: Inference: Primary: DiscoveredIPAddress`	DiscoveredIPAddress used to infer existence of this subnet.
Location	`Subnet: ElementInLocation: Location: Location: Location`	Location of this subnet.
