Title: Discovery subnets mistake
Post by: samueleorso on April 02, 2008, 05:32:50 PM
Hi all,
I'm using NetXMS 0.2.20 for discovering my local network.
I launched active&passive discovery with an ip subnet filter: 10.6.0.0/21.
The discovery process start correctly but when it find a host with incorrect netmask (255.0.0.0 instead of 255.255.248.0), it creates the subnet "10.0.0.0/8" and put all nodes inside this one (it never creates the subnet "10.6.0.0/21).
I think this behavior is not correct, and I don't know how to correct it. Any hints???

Another question: is it possible to create manually a subnet or moving a node to another subnet???

Thanks a lot in advance...

Samuele

Hello.

Manually add node with correct netmask (F11), server should create correct subnet, then you can run autodiscovery.

Currently you can create subnets by hand only by changing database directly (table "subnets") - but don't change it when server is running.

Manual moving is currently unavailable, but server should do it automatically when correct subnet is detected.

Hi Alex,
thanks a lot for your response...
We tried to do this:
1_Discovery of only 1 node with correct netmask (10.6.0.0/21)
2_NetXms create the correct subnet and put the node inside it
3_New discovery of entire subnet (10.6.0.0/21)
4_Nextms create the 10.0.0.0/8 subnet and put all new nodes inside it
5_The nodes with correct netmask (10.6.0.0/21) remain into the 10.0.0.0/8 subnet (NetXMS doesn't move them)

What do you think about this behavior?

Thanks in advance..

Samuele

Hello!

It's looks like a bug... :( I'll check it.
