One method of entering large numbers of IP networks into Discovery schedules is by
using import sets.

## Before you begin

Role required: discovery_admin

## About this task

Common groups of IP addresses, known as [ranges](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/VTG3ViAAb~Fkcv0~y8pyjg "Use one or more of these methods in any combination to define the network or network segment for Discovery to query. You can include or exclude specific IP ranges from your query.") can be used in Advanced Discovery schedules.  
Note:  
You can also use IPAM integration for entering large numbers of IP networks into Discovery schedules. See [IPAM
Integration](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yzRK7~aCrIZQTgfpLHrWBg "Use an IP address management (IPAM) tool like Infoblox to manage cloud IP addresses, networks, and subnets within your cloud catalog offerings. However, it's important to note that this functionality is not supported with our template-based cloud catalogs.") for more information.  
Use a data source that can be mapped. Include these fields:

* Start IP: the first IP address in the range (inclusive).
* End IP: the last IP address in the range (inclusive).

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem Import SetsLoad Data.
2. Identify the file or data source that contains the desired information.
3. Create a table name, such as <kbd class="ph userinput">ipnetworks</kbd>.
4. Select Upload an Excel file and browse to the source file.
5. Click Go to import the file.  
   Figure 1. Data Source
6. Navigate to System Import SetsCreate Transform Map and map the items in the Excel spreadsheet to the fields of the CMDB in the target table IP Range `[ip_address_range]` table.
7. Give the Transform Map a unique and descriptive name.
8. Submit the form, and then click New in the Field Maps Related List.
9. Map the fields from the Excel spreadsheet to the fields in the IP Range `[ip_address_range]` table.  
   The fields you need values for are the Start IP and End IP addresses.
10. Click the Mapping Assist Related Link and use the lists that appear to resolve the fields between the table and the data source (the Excel spreadsheet in this example).
11. Click Save.  
    The view returns to the Table Transform Map form.
12. Click Transform in the Related Links to move the data into the proper fields in the IP Range `[ip_address_range]` table.  
    The imported IP ranges are available now for use in any advanced Discovery
    schedule.
