Data Monitoring - Import Network from CSV

Importing client networks from a CSV file is the easiest way to specify the client networks you want the management console to monitor. To get started, you export a list of client networks, for example, from a DHCP management tool, and then edit the list to import the /24 client networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is there an easy way to import a list of network definitions? It can be easier to export your existing definitions, and edit them to define new network definitions, rather than trying to type in new, comma-separated entries. Note that when importing network definitions, you cannot update an existing network definition.
• What is the required format of the CSV entries? Description, Subnet, Mask, Regions, Network Type (optional). For example: "Atlanta Lab", 192.168.100.0, 24, 1, LAN. To import the CSV file, the management console requires the CSV file to have a CSV file type.

Property Details

Complete the following fields:

network_name

Specifies the name of the network as you want it to appear in the management console with a maximum length of 50 characters.

When using regions to automatically create /24 client networks, We recommend naming each network region using a standard convention like Location-Region-Bandwidth where:

• Location is the remote site where the client network is located, such as Atlanta
• Region is the subnet, such as Subnet10
• Bandwidth is the network bandwidth to the remote site, such as 128K

To name a /24 network, use Location-Description.

subnet

Specifies the IPv4 address of the network in four-part, dotted-decimal notation, for example 192.168.100.0.

mask

Specifies the subnet mask of the network by choosing a mask between /0 and /32.

Note that /32 network is a network with a single client IP address. The management console automatically creates a /32 network for each server to monitor servers that act as both a server to client requests, and a client to another server.

regions

(Optional) Specify the number of subnetworks into which you want to divide the client network.

network_type

(Optional) Specify the network type using the existing network types you have configured in the management console. If you do not specify a network type, it is set to Unassigned.
