Server Searching by IP Address

Users can search for servers by entering a specific IP address in the Search box in the top navigation or in the Search feature.

SA includes support for static Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature introduces the concept of a management IP, which might be different from any of the local IP addresses that the Server Agent reported for a server.

When searching for a server based on its IP address, the Search feature searches based on the server's primary IP address and based on the IP address for any interface that server has, including its management IP address. In the search results, an extra column is shown that lists all matching IP addresses for all interfaces. The management IP address is included if the server’s networking is configured for static NAT.

See Communication Between Managed Servers and SA for more information on how SA handles servers that are affected by static NAT.
