Hi all,
I know this thread was dead for a long time, but I need a little advice about something.
At my work we're in the middle of a migration from devices to a different IP-range.
We used 10.21.x.y, we're now migrating to 10.53.x.y.
As a way to monitor these devices right from the start I added the new IP-addresses within the Dude 3.4 before we migrate.
I expected the Dude to start complaining that one of the device IP-addresses was not (yet) responding, but it doesn't at all..
The original IP-address is still reachable, the new one not. So I expected the Dude to at least switch to some error-state, but it didn't.
At the time of the migration the device should be down for a short while when it's IP-address was being reconfigured, but nothing happened..
The device went down entirely but it didn't show up again after IP-address reconfiguration.
Now here comes my question..
What is the use of the ability to enter multiple IP-addresses when you can't monitor on all of them?
If you can monitor them that is great to hear, could someone in that case please be so kind to enlighten me how on Earth to do that?
Regards,
