ServiceNow Discovery IPV6

Hi There,

 

Wanted to check the capability of SN Discovery around IPV6 devices. Does it discover if the device has IPV6?

 

Also, does it support discovery of overlapping IP address ranges?

We absolutely do discover if a system is configured with a v6 address!   However we cannot discover a v6 address directly..



To your second question a bit more detail would be helpful...


Thanks Doug for the quick insight!



If the discovery cannot be direct, what other ways can be considered?



Also, can SN integrate with VmWare Infrastructure Navigator?


Integrations are a bit out of my wheelhouse but knowing our product there isn't much we cant integrate with!

I tried to run a quick discovery with an IPv6 address, and it asked me to enter a valid IP address. It doesn't pick up the IPv6 address on my VM either, so that's another indication of IPv6 handling.



As to overlapping IP ranges, they should work fine. I've used overlapping ranges in different schedules to handle different types of discovery (ie windows vs ssh).
