Details
To specify a range of IP addresses for the discovery task:
1. In the Range field, specify an IP address range using one of
the following formats:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Standard dotted-decimal notation for a
single address. For example, 123.45.167.100.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Standard dotted-decimal
notation for a range of addresses. For example,
123.45.167.100 - 123.45.167.125.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/n: Standard CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain
Routing) notation. With CIDR, the dotted decimal portion of the
IP address is interpreted as a 32-bit binary number that has
been broken into four 8-bit bytes. The number following the
slash (/n) is the prefix length, which is the number of shared
initial bits, counting from the left side of the address. The /n
number can range from 0 to 32, with 8, 16, 24, and 32 being
commonly used numbers. For example, 123.45.167.100/24
matches all IP addresses that start with 123.45.167. When you
add the IP address range to the Selected IP Ranges list (see
the next step), it is automatically expanded to show the range
of addresses in dotted-decimal notation.
You are recommended to specify an IP address range that
does not contain more than 50,000 devices. A task that has a
large IP address range does not get started. For more
information, see the troubleshooting scenario
remains in a pending state if it has a large IP address range"
on page 128.
2. To add an IP address range to the Selected IP Ranges list,
click Add.
3. (Optional) To exclude the IP subnets or address ranges from
the discovery, click Exclude.
The Excluded Addresses dialog box is displayed.
For more information on how to exclude the IP subnets or
address ranges, see
Excluded Addresses dialog box" on page
4. To add additional ranges, repeat Step 1 and Step 2.
