Auto Site Allocation

Auto Site Allocation


Role Required: SDAdmin

To configure automatic site allocation, navigate to Admin > Discovery > Scan Settings > Auto Site Allocation.
Under this tab, you can create configurations to associate assets with specific sites based on their IP addresses.
 
After creating a new configuration, a full scan will run, followed by a partial scan every 6 hours.
 
The allocation will be based on the first matching IP address. During the partial scan, the association will occur only for assets added manually through forms or for assets whose IP address has been changed after the full scan.



Associate Assets to a Site 

This configuration will not work with distributed asset scans. 
  1. Click New Configuration
  1. In the dialog box that appears, select your preferred site from the Site drop-down.
  2. Provide an IP address or an IP address range, and click Save. Only the IPv4 addresses with the following formats are supported:
    1. A single IP address: 172.3.4.50  
    2. A range specified using the last byte: 172.3.4.50-250
    3. A range specified using the last two bytes: 172.3.4.50-5.250
    4. A range specified using the last three bytes: 172.3.4.50-4.5.250
    5. A range specified using all four bytes: 172.3.4.50-173.1.1.250


For a single configuration, you can add multiple IP addresses separated by commas.
Example: 192.168.23.132,192.168.23.140-192.168.23.150, 172.3.4.50-250.
