Configure Subnet Scan for Locations Rule

The subnet scan configuration defines the rule for scanning the specified subnet, and discovers any active scalability servers on that subnet. The agent then evaluates the other rules and the estimated response times of the active servers to select the best server. The location awareness feature supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Follow these steps:

1. Double-click the new value in the Subnet Scan column.

   The Setting Properties dialog opens.

2. Enter the subnet scan in the Value field, then click OK.

   If you use IPv4, you can specify the IP Address, IP wildcard, or IP range in the Subnet Scan column.

   If you use IPv6, you can specify the various IPv6 address prefixes in the Subnet Scan column.

   The subnet scan for the location rule is configured.

Note: If you specify the Subnet Scan, leave the Scalability Server and Script columns empty. If you are not using the Subnet Scan, leave the Subnet Scan column empty.
