Creating Blackouts for Individual Devices

To support discovery blackouts for individual devices, obtain the Management IP address for the device in question, and assign that IP address to a /32 or /128 discovery range. Define the discovery blackouts settings as you would for any other discovery range. This practice may be handy, for example, for strategic routers and switches that cannot incur excessive latency for transaction traffic. However, this approach means that you cannot create change blackouts for individual devices.
