Subnet Connection Rules

List-based discovery only

For list-based discovery, NNMi uses the subnet connection rules to detect connections that span a WAN. NNMi evaluates the subnet membership of the device it has discovered on each end of a probable connection (by examining their IP addresses and subnet prefixes) and looks at subnet connection rules for a match.

Rule-based discovery only

When auto-discovery rules are enabled and NNMi finds a device configured with a subnet prefix between /28 and /31:

NNMi checks for an applicable subnet connection rule.
If a match is found, NNMi uses each valid address in the subnet as a hint and attempts a discovery on that address.

Tip: Use the default connection rules. Only modify them if you have a problem.
