Subnet node

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

Subnet node 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.

Attributes of the Subnet node

The attributes of the Subnet node are described in the following table:

UI Name
Attribute Name and Type		Description 
Key
key : string 		Unique key
Type
type : string 		IP address type 
IP range
ip_address_range : string 		Range of IP addresses in this subnet
Scope
