Hello all! Longtime user, first time poster. :-) I tried searching the
archives for the mailing list, but I wasn’t about to find anything on this
topic from more recent that around 2007.
I have a question about how Netdisco selects an IP to identify a device. I
have a Cisco ASA used as a VPN that is being identified by the IP address of
the outside interface, my guess is because it has the lowest IP address on the
system.
If I use "netdisco-do renumber -d <old outside interface IP> -e <new management
interface IP>“ then Netdisco seems to use the IP I want it to, but at some
point later it reverts back to using the outside interface again.
Is this expected behavior? Or, as I’m probably doing something wrong, what
would be the correct procedure?
Thank you everyone and keep up the good work!
BK

Hi Brian
The renumber feature is not what you want to use. That is for when you
actually change the IP of a device and remove the old one; it allows the
user to keep all the history of connected nodes and so on in the database.
The feature you want is device_identity in the configuration file:
https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco/wiki/Configuration#device_identity
At a guess, the config might look something like (check the Model field of
your Device Details tab and the Port Name in Addresses tab):
device_identity:
'model:asa': 'port:(?i)mgmt1'
Hope that helps, and if you get stuck do come and ask on IRC.
Thanks for using Netdisco :)
regards,
oliver.
