A second blackout type, change blackout, allows NetMRI to enforce blackouts for CLI interaction, scheduled or run-now job executions, Telnet/SSH proxy, and port control UI features. Change blackouts will allow read-only discovery, the device changes detection, and device analysis for Issues without permitting any CLI communication or configuration changes. Change blackouts typically disallow operations such as enabling or disabling interfaces on devices.

- Discovery IP ranges. For more information, see Configuring Discovery Ranges.
- Strategic individual devices. For more information, see Creating Blackouts for Individual Devices.
- Device Groups. For more information, see Creating Device Groups.
Discovery tasks may already be running when a blackout period takes effect. Current tasks will not be interrupted and will complete within their time. NetMRI will not activate new discovery tasks on the chosen network, device group, or individual device during the blackout period.
