IP Address Form

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the IP Address form.]

The IP Address form provides information for the IP address selected. This form is useful for troubleshooting purposes because you can access additional information about the node, interface, subnet, and incidents associated with this address.

If your role permits, you can use this form to modify the Management Mode for an address (for example, to indicate it will be temporarily out of service) or add notes to communicate information about this address to your team. This topic includes the following sections:

Incidents Tab
Capabilities Tab
Status Tab
Conclusions Tab

Basic Attributes
Attribute	Description
Address	An IP address provided by your NNMi administrator as a discovery seed or an IP address gathered by Spiral Discovery.
Prefix Length	The number of significant bits in the subnet prefix associated with this IP address. For IPv4 addresses, this value is derived from the subnet mask.
Mapped Address	If static Network Address Translation (NAT) is part of your network management domain, your NNMi administrator can configure NNMi to display the NAT internal IP address (such as private IPv4 address) assigned to the selected external IP address.
Status	Overall status for the current IP address. NNMi follows the ISO standard for status classification. See IP Address Form: Status Tab.
Management Mode	The calculated Management Mode for the address according to the Management Mode Hierarchy. This value reflects the current management mode of this IP address's parent object (either an Interface or the Hosted On Node). See How NNMi Assigns the Management Mode to an Object. (NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) Any change to this Management Mode setting is sent from a Regional Manager to the Global Manager during the next Spiral Discovery cycle on the Regional Manager. If the NNMi Security configuration permits, you can change this setting using Actions → Management Mode.You can also right-click any object in a table or map view to access the items available within the Actions menu.
Direct Management Mode	Indicates whether or not NNMi is currently monitoring the IP address. Possible values are: Inherited – Used to indicate that the address should inherit the Management Mode from the address's parent object (either the Parent Component interface or the Managed By node). Not Managed – Used to indicate that you do not plan to manage the address. For example, the address might not be accessible because it is in a private network. NNMi does not discover or monitor these addresses. Out of Service – Used to indicate the address is unavailable because it is out of service or participating in a Scheduled Node Outage. NNMi does not discover or monitor this address. NNMi administrators and Level 2 Operators can use the drop-down selection list to change the current setting. If you change the Direct Management Mode using Actions → Management Mode, NNMi updates the calculated Management Mode on the form. If you manually set the Direct Management Mode and then Save your changes, the Management Mode value is not updated until you refresh the form.
State	Indicates whether NNMi is communicating with the IP address. Possible values are: Responding – Indicates that the IP address is being polled and is responding to an ICMP ping. Not Responding – Indicates that the IP address is being polled, but is not responding to an ICMP ping. The following values indicate NNMi could not gather the required data: No Polling Policy - No polling policy exists for this monitored attribute. Not Polled - Indicates that this attribute is intentionally not polled, based on current Monitoring Configuration settings, current Communication Configuration settings, or because the parent Node is set to Not Managed or Out of Service. This object attribute might or might not have an associated polling policy. Not Provided — The device does not support providing information for this monitored attribute. Unavailable - The agent responded with a value outside the range of possible values or returned a null value. Unset – Currently not used by NNMi. NNMi's State Poller determines the State. The current state contributes towards the status calculation for the address. See the Status tab for more information.
State Last Modified	The date and time when the State value was last modified.
In Interface	MIB-II ipAddrTable value indicating the interface that owns this IP address. Click the Lookup icon and select Open to display more information about the interface.
Hosted On Node	node in which the address resides. This is the current value in NNMi’s database for the Name attribute of the host device. The value could be a DNS name, a MIB-II sysName, or an address (depending on how your NNMi administrator configured the discovery process). Click the \ Lookup icon and select \ Show Analysis or \ Open to display more information about the node.
In Subnet	Subnet on which the IP address resides. NNMi derives this subnet based on the IP address and the subnet prefix information. Click the Lookup icon and select Open to display more information about the IP subnet.
Notes	(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) The text you enter here is not sent from a Regional Manager (NNMi management server) to the Global Manager. NNMi administrators for the Global Manager can add notes that are stored in the NNMi database on the Global Manager. Provided for network operators to use for any additional notes required to further explain the IP address. Information might include whether the address is a backup address. You might also use this attribute to track which geographical group might use the address. Type a maximum of 1024 characters. Alpha-numeric, spaces, and special characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _+ -) are permitted. You can sort your IP address table views based on this value. Therefore, you might want to include keywords for this attribute value.

Registration Tab

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the IP Address form, Registration tab.]

The IP Address Form provides details about the selected IP address .

For information about each tab: See Also

Registration Attributes
Attribute	Description
Created	Date and time the selected object instance was created. NNMi uses the locale of the client and the date and time from the NNMi management server. This value does not change when a node is rediscovered. This is because the Node object is modified, but not created.
Last Modified	Date the selected object instance was last modified. NNMi uses the locale of the client and the date and time from the NNMi management server. Note the following: When a node is rediscovered, the Last Modified time is the same as the Discovery Completed time. This is because the node’s Discovery State changes from Started to Completed. When a Node is initially discovered, the Last Modified time is slightly later than the Created time. This is because node discovery does not complete until after the Node is created.

Object Identifiers Attributes
Attribute	Description
ID	The Unique Object Identifier, which is unique within the NNMi database.
UUID	The Universally Unique Object Identifier, which is unique across all databases.
