  • 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.
