    • Define an IP network subnet so that you can categorize and manage all the child IP network subnets in your network by using the Telecommunications Network Inventory application. You can also review, create, or delete an IP subnetwork.

    Before you begin

    • Get access to the IP subnetwork by ensuring that you’ve installed all advanced plugins.
    • Role required: sn_ni_core.inventory_admin, sn_ni_core.inventory_agent

    About this task

    You can review, create, or delete an IP subnetwork.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Network Inventory Workspace.
    2. Select the list icon (List icon.), and then go to Inventory > IP Network Subnet.
    3. Select New
    4. On the Details tab, in the IP address section, fill in the fields.

      To learn about the remaining identification fields that are common to most of the Inventory and Inventory number allocation menu forms, see Commonly used network asset instance identification fields.

    5. Create the Telecommunications Network Inventory attributes for this IP network subnet form by selecting Set Inventory Attributes.
      When you select the Set Inventory Attributes button, it creates the TNI CI Attributes record in the CI table and in the Telecommunications Network Inventory CI Attributes tables and makes a relationship with the CI record.
      Note:
      • If you select Save without selecting Set Inventory Attributes, it creates a CI record but not a Telecommunications Network Inventory CI record. In the network inventory workspace, the Set Inventory Attributes is visible only for the Telecommunications Network Inventory roles.
      • In the TNI CI attributes form, by default, the name is fetched from the Name field and the Inventory Category is set as IP Address.
    6. Add packs to this service by selecting Add Packs.

      To learn more about the packs, see Attribute packs.

    7. Add the attachments, such as the graphics or documents, by selecting the attachment icon (Attachment icon.) in the right panel.
    8. Select Save.
    9. View the hierarchy or flow chart of the created IP pool by selecting the Dependency View button.
    10. View the associated network inventories by selecting the brick icon (brick icon.).

      The Infrastructure Relationships section shows all the associated network inventories that are grouped by the individual network instances.
