2.8.15 Automatic updating of the network control list
When you add, update, or delete hardware information or device information, the network control list is automatically updated. The following describes update operations that are performed automatically.
-
If hardware asset information contains a MAC address or IP address that is not found in the network control list, information about the MAC address or IP address is added to the network control list.
-
If you change the status of the hardware asset to Disposed or delete the hardware asset information, the corresponding entry is removed from the network control list.
-
If you edit an IP address or MAC address in hardware asset information, the changes are applied to the network control list. However, if a hardware asset is associated with a device, editing the hardware asset information does not result in changes to the network control list because IP addresses and MAC addresses are collected from the device. If the network control setting for the same MAC address already exists, no changes are made in the network control list.
-
When device information contains a MAC address not found in the network control list, the MAC address and its IP address are added to the network control list.
-
If the most recently collected device information lacks a MAC address that was present in the previous set, the system assumes that the network card has been removed and deletes its MAC address information from the network control list. The MAC address is also removed from the network control list if the network card is disabled.
-
The system behavior when the IP address changes in the device information depends on the Judgment Form option selected in the Add Allow or Deny Network Access Permission dialog box or the Edit Network Connection Permission or Denial dialog box.
-
When the judgment form is MAC Address:
The IP address information for the device is changed in the network control list.
-
When the judgment form is IP Address or MAC Address + IP Address:
The device information in the network control list is left unchanged.
-
For this reason, we recommend that you select MAC Address as the judgment form in environments where IP addresses change frequently.
- Tip
-
By default, automatic updating of the network control list is enabled only for additions of devices. If you upgrade JP1/IT Desktop Management version 10-02 or earlier, all automatic updates including additions, changes, and deletions are enabled.
When automatic updating is enabled for only additions, the network control settings are retained without being changed or deleted (if you attempt to change the settings, new settings are added). In the remaining network control settings, Confirmation Choices is set for Automatic Updates Effect (Only Add Operations Enabled).
For details about how to set automatic updating, see the description of the procedure for editing the automatic update of the network filter list in the Job Management Partner 1 Version 10 Job Management Partner 1/IT Desktop Management Administration Guide.
