IP Address node

IP Address node

An IP Address node represents an IPv4 or IPv6 address of a host or a device.

IP Address node lifecycle

The following section describes the scenarios in which an IP Address node is created, updated or destroyed.

Creation

An IP Address node is created in the datastore when a host, network device, printer, or SNMP managed device is scanned successfully. The new IP Address node will only be created if one with the same key does not already exist as a child of that node.

Update

An IP Address node is updated every time the parent host or a device is scanned successfully with sufficient credentials to run the discovery command.

Removal

To remove an IP Address node manually, find the necessary IP Address node, select it in the list and pick Destroy from the Actions list.
 An IP Address node is automatically destroyed if it is not seen on a subsequent scan of its parent host or device. This is an Authoritative Removal type, see Authoritative Removal. The IP Address node is also destroyed when its parent host or device is destroyed. This is a Containment Removal type because an IP Address cannot exist without its parent host or device, see Containment Removal. For information on the destruction of Host nodes, see Host node lifecycle.

IP Address node attributes

The attributes and relationships on an IP Address node are described in the tables below.The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
