Omit network adapter secondary IP addresses in Linux discovery

Limit Linux discovery to specific network adapters and their primary IP addresses to improve performance by ignoring secondary IP addresses.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

Configuring the network_adapter_exclusion_list system property ensures that only specified network adapters and their primary IP addresses are used during Linux discovery. Secondary IP addresses that are not named are automatically omitted.

Role required: admin

Procédure

1. In the navigation filter, enter sys_properties.list.
2. In the Name field, search for network_adapter_exclusion_list.
3. Select the network_adapter_exclusion_list property.
4. In the Value field, enter the network adapter associated with the NIC IP address to exclude it from deletion.
   The network adapter must be entered in one of the formats listed in the following table.

   Format	Description
   Single name	Single adapter name. For example: bond0.
   Regular expression matching multiple adapter names	Regular expression that matches multiple adapter names ending with one or more digits. For example: bond\d+.

5. Select Update.

Résultats

When the predefined schedule triggers the Linux server discovery or a scheduled horizontal discovery runs, only the specific network adapters and their primary IP addresses are included in the discovery process.
