Location

This setting allows you to set location information for devices in CMDB. Location information can be defined for a set of IP addresses. When applied, this information will overwrite the existing Location information in the CMDB. Future discoveries will not overwrite this information. Use this method to update locations of multiple devices with private IP addresses only. It is not necessary to update locations for public address space in this manner, because this information can also be obtained from a separate built-in database location.

1. Go to Admin > Settings > Discovery > Location.
2. Click +.
3. In the Location Definition dialog box, select or enter the following information:
   • Organization Type
   • IP/IP Range
   • Location
   • Update Manual Devices (This enables the system to overwrite the location information for manually defined devices in CMDB.)
4. Click Save.
5. Select the new location from the list and click the Apply () icon.
   Note: You can click Apply All to apply all location definitions.
