NetXMS Support Forum

Thank you for taking the time to test this.

You are correct that i didn't install an agent on the laptop. We have a lot of them, most of them are thin clients, and installing an agent is not so practical.
It seems that i can manually add the 2 interfaces with MAC and IP. When i switch form wifi to lan the corresponding interface goes up/down on a status poll. Of course it would be nice if you could select that at least one interface should be up before otherwise de node wil be marked as down and generate an alarm.
But i had to manually add the IP in the interface, i wonder what will happen when DHCP gives another IP? Will the IP in the interface be updated?

I want to monitor laptops: they switch often from lan to wifi and vice versa. When they switch they get another ip (from dhcp) but also another interface and mac. netxms report that the node goes down but doesn't find the new ip an they stay down. I already set ResolveDNSToIPOnStatusPoll to 1. Now the new ip is found for the node (after the dnscache is cleared after some time on the server), but the interface itself stays with the old mac and ip and the node stays down. I have to do a manual poll for the full configuration to get the node up again, but the old interface is then deleted and replaced by the new interface. until the end users switches again...

How can I make netxms to recognize the node with both interfaces (one up, the other down) an automtically dectect te active one and report the node up if at least one interface is active?

thanks!
