To specify the IP subnets or address ranges to be excluded from the
IP discovery. These ranges are added to the ranges specified in the
Management Zone, and the combined ranges are excluded while
running the discovery task.
To specify the IP subnets or address ranges to be excluded from the
discovery, do one of the following:
Manually add the IP address to be excluded:
1. In the Range field, enter the 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.
2. To add an IP address range to the Selected IP Ranges
list, click Add.
Use a CSV file to import an IP address to be excluded:
1. In the Selected IP Ranges list, click Import.
The Import CSV File dialog box is displayed.
2. Click Browse to browse for and select a file that contains
a comma-separated or columnar list of IP addresses.
3. Click OK.
In order for the SSH, WMI, WinAPI, and SNMP discovery
technologies to retrieve information from devices, you must provide
credentials that the discovery technologies can use. The NMAP,
MAC Address, and ZENworks technologies do not require
credentials.
Unless you save the credentials, they are stored only in memory.
Saved credentials are encrypted in the database for increased
security.
Credentials that are not saved are cleared from memory when the
ZENworks Server is restarted. If you are creating a scheduled
deployment task, you might want to save the credentials to ensure
that they are still available when the deployment is performed.
