The IPv4 Map panel provides a graphical representation of all IPv4 addresses in a given subnet. IP Map displays cells that represent IPv4 addresses. Each cell in the map represents an IPv4 address, and its color indicates its status as described in the legend section. You can run a network discovery on the selected network, and the status of each IP address is updated accordingly. For information, see Chapter 14, IP Discovery and vDiscovery.
Each IP Map panel can accommodate up to 256 cells with each cell representing an IP address. If a given network has more than 256 addresses, additional IP addresses are displayed by paging to the next page. You can use the page navigation buttons to page through the IP addresses. To go to a specific IP address, you can enter the IP address in the Go to field or click a specific cell in IP Map. IP Map has a basic and an advanced view. You can toggle between these views by clicking Toggle Basic View or Toggle Advanced View. As illustrated in Figure 13.7, the status of an IP address is represented with a different color in the IP Map panel.
In the basic view, the IP Map panel displays the following IP address status:

...

  • IP Address: The IP address of the corresponding record. The appliance highlights disabled DHCP objects in gray. A DHCP object can be an DHCP address range, fixed address, reservation, host configured for DHCP, or roaming host with an allocated IP address.
  • Name: The name of the object type associated with the IP address. For example, if the IP address belongs to a host record, this field displays the hostname.
  • MAC Address: The discovered MAC address of the host. This is the unique identifier of a network device. The discovery acquires the MAC address for hosts that are located on the same network as the Grid member that is running the discovery. This can also be the MAC address of a virtual entity on a specified vSphere server.

  • Bridge Domain: The name of the discovered bridge domain. This column will display values only for IP addresses that are discovered from Cisco APIC through Network Insight or NetMRI. If discovered by NetMRI, the value will be populated through IPAM Sync. Otherwise, this column will be blank. For information about how to configure Cisco APIC, see Configuring Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC).

  • Tenant: The name of the discovered tenant. This column will display values only for IP addresses that are discovered from Cisco APIC through Network Insight or NetMRI. If discovered by NetMRI, the value will be populated through IPAM Sync. Otherwise, this column will be blank. For information about how to configure Cisco APIC, see Configuring Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC).

  • EPG: The name of the end point group. This column will display values only for IP addresses that are discovered from Cisco APIC through Network Insight or NetMRI. If discovered by NetMRI, the value will be populated through IPAM Sync. Otherwise, this column will be blank. For information about how to configure Cisco APIC, see Configuring Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC).

  • DHCP Client Identifier: For an IPv4 address, the DHCP Unique Identifier of the host.
  • Port Reservation: Lists any Port Reservation from Network Insight that is associated with the IP address. The information takes the form of device name:interface name.
  • VIP: Indicates when the IP address is operating as a Virtual IP and operates in router redundancy.
  • Status: The current status of the corresponding record. This can be Used or Unused.
  • Type: The object type that is associated with the IP address. For example, this can be Broadcast, Lease, IPv4 DHCP Range or Fixed Address.
  • Discover Now: Indicates when the network is undergoing a current discovery process. A "Pending" icon appears in this column when you start the discovery and displays Completed after the completion of the discovery process.
  • Usage: Indicates whether the IP address is configured for DNS or DHCP.
  • Lease State: The lease state of the IP address. This can be one of the following: Free, Backup, Active, Expired, Released, Abandoned, Reset, BootP, Static, Offered, or Declined.
  • User Name: The name of the user who received the lease for the IP address.
  • Task Name: The name of the task that collected the discovered data. It is usually the ID or task name that collected the data. It is defined on the corresponding Trinzic Network Automation appliance when you import the discovered data to the NIOS appliance. The task name should be defined in the vDiscovery task manager for vDiscovery.
  • Comment: Additional information about the IP address.
  • First Discovered: The timestamp when the IP address was initially discovered. This data is read-only.
  • Last Discovered: The timestamp when the IP address was last discovered. This data is read-only.
  • OS: The operating system of the discovered host. The OS value can be one of the following:
    • Microsoft for all discovered hosts that have a non-null value in the MAC addresses using the NetBIOS discovery method.
    • A value that a TCP discovery returns.
    • The OS of a virtual entity on a vSphere server.
      Note that this field sometimes displays the percentage of certainty about the discovered OS.

    • Show IPAM Address: opens the IPAM page to the listed IP address;
    • VIP: Opens the virtual interface in the host device's Interfaces page;
    • Associated router: The third item lists the hostname router for each of the three IP address entities comprising the redundancy instance. The currently active router will be identified with the Active and VIP objects; the second Standby router is identified with the Standby IP address.
  • Show Interfaces View: Opens the IP address' related Interface page to highlight the interface's listed information in the table.
  • Assets View –> Show Assets: Opens the IP address's list of network assets that are connected to the IP address or reachable through the IP address in some way, such as through a routable path. Provides a quick look at basic connectivity provided by the selected IP address; for more information about Assets views, see Viewing Assets Associated with Discovered Devices.
  • Clear: Allows you to remove data associated with the currently selected IP address, form three categories:
    • Clear Lease: If the IP interface gets its configuration from a DHCP lease, choosing this option will clear the IP's DHCP configuration. Applies only to IP addresses that are fully managed through IPAM;
    • Clear Unmanaged Data: Clears the discovered data for an unmanaged IP address;
    • Clear Discovered Data: Clears discovered data from the IPAM object, and re-launches discovery afterwards if necessary.
  • Convert: Conversion feature to convert the currently unmanaged IP address to an object fully managed by IPAM: Network, To Host, To A Record, To PTR Record, or To Fixed Address. (For related information, see Managing Discovered Data, About Host Records, Managing A Records and Managing PTR Records.)
  • Discover Now: Requests Grid Manager to execute discovery on the selected IP address.
  • Exclusion: Exclude or disable exclusion of the current IP address from discovery. For related information, see Excluding IP Addresses from Discovery.
  • Show Active Users: Displays all the users who are currently active on the selected network. For information, see Viewing Active Network Users.
