You'll have to let Netview discover the device with it's new address, and
delete the old one (or let Netview remove it after a period, as Todd
mentioned). If the devices are unmanaged under their old address, you'll
have to delete them yourself, or manage them so Netview see them as down.

Subject: Re: discovering a change in IP address
I'd rediscover if possible, or let the database delete the objects that
appear to be down for a specified period of time. I think the default is 7
days.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good way to have NetView discover
nodes that have changed ip addresses. We are switching our network over to a
switched environment, and as such, are getting rid of many ip subnets and
putting them into 2 or 3 large ones...Basically, I have a lot of nodes that
are going to be changing their ip address. If they were unmanaged nodes,
would this change in ip address even be detected? What's my best approach?
Thanks
Matt
