Administrators can specify IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses that must be immediately discovered by the appliance. Some devices may need exclusion because they do not support SNMP, or for other organizational reasons.
Devices matching IP addresses selected for immediate discovery (using the Discover Now feature described in Using Discover Now to Discover an Existing Object) are given one-time priority over other discovered devices, for data collection and counting toward any device found matching the license limits.
A device specified through an IP address can also be excluded from discovery or management.

You can use the IPAM IP Map or IP List page to quickly exclude IP addresses and selected ranges of IP addresses from discovery. For example, you may have Infoblox appliances or routers that provide the gateway to networks that are already managed by Grid Manager, or devices on which you do not wish to have discovery operations take place.

1. From the Data Management tab, select the IPAM tab. The IPAM Home page appears.

2. Click on any network or network container in the list. The IP Map appears for the selected network.

   Note that you may also use the List page for the selected network to exclude IPs or selected ranges of IPs. However, you have to page through or search through the pages comprising the list view to locate the IPs you want to exclude. (If you know the IP address value in the List view but it does not appear on the page, enter it in the Go to field to search for the IP.) The IP Map view allows you to view every IP address in a selected network, such as a /24 prefix.

3. Select one or more IPs in the map. SHIFT+click to select a series of contiguous IPs. CTRL+click to select non-contiguous IPs.

4. Expand the Toolbar and click Exclusion –> Enable Exclusion. The selected IP addresses are excluded from any discovery actions.

To locate an IP to exclude within a network container:

1. From the Data Management tab, select the IPAM tab. The IPAM Home page appears.

2. Select the network container by clicking it. The IPAM Home page changes to display the List page, showing the list of networks within the container.

3. Click the network that has the IP in its space that you wish to exclude.

4. Select the network IP address from the List table. If you know the IP address value but it does not appear on the page, enter it in the Go to field to search for the IP.

5. Expand the Toolbar and choose Exclusion –> Enable Exclusion.

A parent network container may exclude IPs, and you may add and remove discovery exclusions within network containers. You can drill down to the child networks in the Net Map view to perform exclusions on IPs. For example, consider a /16 network container that has a number of smaller /24 child networks within it. Right-clicking on any child network in the network container and choosing Edit from the popup menu, opens the editor with its Discovery Exclusions tab, where you can perform exclusions within the child network.

...

You can create a new object from the main Data Management –> IPAM or Data Management –> DHCP pages.

1. From the Data Management tab, select the IPAM or DHCP tab.

   1. For IPAM, the IPAM home page appears, listing all networks reachable by IPAM.

   2. For DHCP, the home Networks page appears, showing all networks reachable by DHCP.
