Manage Server Subnets

A server subnet specifies a contiguous range of server IP addresses that you want to monitor. When a monitoring device observes application traffic that matches a specified server subnet, the management console:

• Adds the server to any matching System applications.
• Adds the server to the Server List, where you can view and manage the properties of the server, for example, to assign an incident response.
• Adds the server to the Network List as a /32 or /128 client network.

We recommend adding server subnets to CA Application Delivery Analysis that closely align with your server VLAN definitions. To limit the TCP ports that the management console monitors on each server subnet, assign port exclusions to the server subnet.

Application Delivery Analysis includes a default server subnet called Monitor All Servers on subnet 0.0.0.0 mask 0. The default server subnet enables automatic data collection when adding a new monitor.
