Settings for a group that uses a group-specific IP group specifies whether to set up IP address-specific groups that are using devices. To register IP address-specific groups, use the IP Group job menu. Groups are set according to the IP addresses of the hardware asset information.

This setting is enabled when you execute Asset Information Synchronous Service, the Take inventory task, Take node information task, or Data maintenance task.

For details about how to modify the settings file, see 5.9.3 Specifying the task to be executed in the Data maintenance task.

Note

Even when Set is selected, the existing value is not overwritten if it is a value acquired from the JP1/Software Distribution user inventory or a value entered from the New Device window or the Device Details dialog box.

Also make sure that Overwrite setting for group-information.group-name in the Assign Inventory job menu is set to Overwrite (Not overwritten if NULL or N/A.).

Reference note

By using the Data maintenance task, you can reliably update the groups according to the settings in the IP Group job menu, even when a value acquired from the JP1/Software Distribution user inventory or a value entered from the New Device window or the Device Details dialog box is set. For details about how to set the Data maintenance task, see 5.9.3 Specifying the task to be executed in the Data maintenance task.

Note

Even when Set is selected, the existing value is not overwritten if it is a value acquired from the JP1/Software Distribution user inventory or a value entered from the New Device window or the Device Details dialog box. Therefore, to set location-specific IP groups for all devices, first use the Batch Update job menu to delete the values for all locations. Also make sure that Overwrite setting for location-information.location-name in the Assign Inventory job menu is set to Overwrite (Not overwritten if NULL or N/A.).

Reference note

By using the Data maintenance task, you can reliably update the locations according to the settings in the IP Group job menu, even when a value acquired from the JP1/Software Distribution user inventory or a value entered from the New Device window or the Device Details dialog box is set. For details about how to set the Data maintenance task, see 5.9.3 Specifying the task to be executed in the Data maintenance task.
