16.4 Changing IP group information (IP Group)
By using the IP Group job menu, you can group IP addresses by address ranges and manage them as IP groups. You can create groups by department and location, and assign desired names to them to manage IP address usage. IP group management is applicable only to the IP addresses of IPv4.
By default, only the administrator can execute IP Group.
To change IP group information, use the IP Group window, which is displayed by clicking the IP Group job menu. The following figure shows the IP Group window.

By clicking a link under IP group name in a search results list, you can view, change, and delete the details about that IP group.
To manage IP addresses by group, use the Group-Specific IP Group tab to create IP groups, and to manage IP addresses by location, use the Location-Specific IP Group tab to create IP groups. To manage a group by subgroups or manage multiple groups as a single group, use the IP Group tab to create IP groups.
When you create an IP group in the Group-Specific IP Group tab or Location-Specific IP Group tab, it is also possible to automatically register a group and location that correspond to the IP address of each machine at the following times:
-
Collection of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager management information
-
Execution of a Data maintenance task
Even if information about groups and locations is not collected in JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, it is possible to register a group and location by using its IP address.
To automatically register a group and location that correspond to the IP address, you must specify settings in the Server Setup dialog box. For details about how to specify settings in the Server Setup dialog box, see 7.3.4(11) Settings for a group that uses a group-specific IP group and 7.3.4(12) Settings for a location that uses a location-specific IP group. To automatically register a group and location that correspond to the IP address during execution of the Data maintenance task, you must edit the setup file (taskopt.ini). For details about how to edit the setup file, see 7.9.3(3) Changing the tasks to be executed. For details about how to add IP addresses individually, see 14.6.2(1) Adding an IP address.
