System Object ID Ranges

The system object ID (OID) from a discovery hint must match an Include in Rule entry in the system object ID ranges list. If there are no included system object ID ranges in an auto-discovery rule, then all object IDs are considered a match. Additionally, the OID must not match any entry marked Ignored by Rule. If all checks successfully match, this rule’s configuration is used for handling the hint.

  • Use the system object ID ranges to either expand auto-discovery to include more than the default routers and switches, or to exclude specific routers and switches.
  • Each node must match both the IP address range and the system object ID range specified before it is discovered and added to the topology database.
