Creating an IP tag filter

You create an IP tag filter for one of the
IP Manager
s so that the
IP Manager
can distinguish between the overlapping addresses that belong to the two different IP management domains. The use of the IP tag filter enables the
IP Manager
to do the following:
Store in their respective repositories the IP objects that represent the overlapping IP addresses that are used by the two locally distinct groups of devices in the two IP management domains.
IP tag filter groups provide a means to create an IP tag filter and specify a unique tag for a group of devices that share an IP address space with another group of devices. The procedure for creating IP tag filter groups is presented in the
.
The
IP Manager
with
the IP tag filter will use the “IP-<
IP address
>/<
tag
>” naming scheme to name an IP address instance that is collected from its domain. The
IP Manager
without
the IP tag filter will use the standard naming scheme of “IP-<
IP address
>” to name an IP address instance that is collected from its domain.
For example, if you create an IP tag filter group that has a “Domain_A” tag and matching criteria that allow the devices in the management domain for
IP Manager
_A to become members of the group,
IP Manager
_A will assign the name IP-<
IP address
>/Domain_A to the IP addresses that it collects from its management domain.
IP Manager
_B will assign the name IP-<
IP address
> to the IP addresses that it collects from its management domain.
