This facility allows you to group the devices on your network by subnet.
Click Subnets Editor in the Traffix
definition file, which contains information about subnet groupings. This
file can be edited and reapplied at any time.
This facility extends the basic subnetting provided by the NL attribute.
See "Predefined Attributes"
Subnets can only be applied to devices with IP addresses.
Multicast addresses cannot be used.
All addresses must be in dotted decimal format.
To set up subnets:
1 Edit the SubnetsDB file using the Subnets Editor provided in the Traffix
Control Panel.
2 For each subnet you wish to add, you must specify the following:
The significant part of the subnet address
A subnet mask
The name of the group
The DNS domain
Check the Event Log for errors after you have changed the SubnetsDB
program. If an error occurs, the whole SubnetsDB file is ignored.
For example, if the PCs on your network were all located within the
subnet 140.6.0.0, you might add the following entry to the subnet
configuration file:
subnet mask
140.6.0.0 255.255.0.0
Entries can appear in any order.
