NetXMS Support Forum

Have a question and hope someone can direct me to the answer.

Scenario: I am exporting the nodes into our CRM using the database backup. In netXMS you can look up an IP address and it comes back with the interface and MAC Address of the device.

Issue:  When pulling from the interfaces table it brings up multiple interfaces and MAC for the same IP when using the NodeID.

Question:  How does netXMS decide which interface and MAC address to display when doing an IP search within the UI.  I am trying to determine how the IP's and the Node MAC and interface are tied together.

Hi,

when you do search for IP address, server will find node with that IP address, and show you MAC address of interface where this IP address is configured. You get specific MAC because you are looking for specific IP. When looking for a node by it's ID you have to somehow decide what interface to use. You can use primary IP address for example to determine what interface and MAC address to show.

Best regards,
