After an IP reconciliation policy discovers addresses and networks, you can view and work with the new information.
To view addresses discovered by the IP reconciliation policy:
- Select the IPAM tab in the sidebar, then select IPv4 reconciliation or IPv6 reconciliation.
- Select the Reconciliations tab.
- The Reconciliations table lists discovered IP addresses. Select a
row containing an IP address to expand the additional details section. Information about
each discovered IP address is provided through the following fields.
- Address—the IP address discovered by the IP reconciliation policy.
- Reconciliation type—the type of IP address
discovered by the IP reconciliation policy.
- Mismatch—an address that exists in both Address Manager and on the network, but where the MAC address, DNS host name information, VLAN information or connected switch port does not match.
- Reclaimable—(IPv4 only) an address that exists in Address Manager, but it isn't found on the physical network. This may represent a device that was turned off at the time of the discovery, or the address may no longer exist on the network.
- Unknown—an address that exists on the physical network, but that isn't in Address Manager. This likely represents an address that has been added to the network after the last discovery.
- Range—the network range that the address is located within.
- MAC address—the MAC address of the IP address.
- Domain—the fully qualified domain name of the discovered IP address.
- Time since first detection—the time since the address was first discovered by the IP reconciliation policy.
- Overridden—shows if the address is exempt from the reconciliation process. No shows that the IP address isn't added to the override list; Yes shows that it's added to the override list. Overridden addresses aren't affected by the Reconcile all and Reconcile functions.
- Reconciliation policy—the IPv4 reconciliation policy used to discover the IPv4 addresses.
- Address state—the address state of the discovered IP address, indicating how the address is allocated.
- First detection time—the date and time the IP address was first detected by the discovery process.
- Last detection time—the date and time the IP address was most recently detected by the discovery process.
- Router port information—the IP address and port for the router on which the discovered IP address was found. If available, the name of the router is also included.
- State—the reconciliation state of the discovered IP address, indicating whether the address is reconcilable.
- Switch port information—when layer 2 discovery is enabled, the IP address, name, interface name, interface description, interface speed for the switch on which the discovered IP address was found.
- VLAN information—when layer 2 discovery is enabled, the VLAN ID and VLAN name for the switch on which the discovered IP address was found.
Note: Columns for additional fields can be added using the column select widget. For more information, refer to Customizing tables.Note: Table data can be filtered by field values using the filter widget. For more information, refer to Table filtering.
To view non-reconcilable addresses:
- Select the filter button at the top right of the table.
- At the top left of the table, select .
- Select the checkbox for Non reconcilable.
- Select Apply.An address may not be able to be reconciled for one of the following reasons:
- There's a conflict between the size of the physical network and the size of the equivalent IP network object in Address Manager. As a result, Address Manager can't add the address.
- The IP state between two discovery sessions doesn't match. For example, an earlier discovery session reported the address as Static; before the next discovery session, another user changes its state to Reserved.
To add addresses to the override list:
- Select the checkbox for one or more addresses, then select .
To delete addresses:
- Select the checkbox for one or more addresses, then select .
