"Identified, ignored extra IP" warning in Discovery

[pvijaysen]

Out of 147 IP addresses scheduled only 37 CI's are created and for rest of the IP's getting warning "Identified, ignored extra IP".          

In the Discovery log after filtering the CI name, it shows 19 different source Ips. When we open the updated CI, in the related list under CI Ips 5   ips are listed.We are investigating why other ips are not listed under CI ips.

OOB we identified under script include " DiscoveryIDSensor" script is throwing the above error.

Please guide me how to solve the above warning.

Thanks in advance.

You won't be able to solve that "warning" as far as I've experienced, unless you simply move to exclude those IPs from the Discovery schedule. Discovery goes through phases, and it determines after the identity phase if it has already initiated a scan against the CI. It does that so it doesn't waste local resources and bandwidth on rescanning something.

Your best bet is to check the CIs themselves and make sure that the IPs "ignored" by Discovery are indeed attached to the CI in question. If these CIs are routers or switches, I'd recommend just scanning a management subnet if possible.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry about   the late reply.

Some of the IP's are not attached to the CI, so i'm wondering these missing IP's have any information related to CI. How can we fix these missing IP's?

Thanks for the help.

That's very interesting. What does the Shazzam probe show for active ports for those IP addresses? If the classification probe runs, I'd be interested in that too.

For missing IP's there is no information in the Shazzam.   Please find the attached screenshot.

Thanks
