Change IP Domain Assignments

The process of classifying collected data in the UC Monitor database prevents Location and IP domain designations from being applied retroactively. Subnets that were already in the database when they were added to a Location definition remain categorized as <Unassigned> in historical data views. These same subnets are correctly placed in the Location in new views. Similar logic applies to the use of custom IP domains. Those same subnets are associated with custom IP domains when new calls are made, with no effect on data already collected.

When you create an IP domain in CA Performance Center, all Locations that were previously defined are associated with the default IP domain. You can edit Locations to remove subnets, select the custom IP domain, and then add the subnets back to the Locations. This manual procedure is often time-consuming. We recommend the following work flow instead.

Follow these steps:

1. Export the current list of Location definitions, as discussed in Export a List of Locations.
2. Verify the contents of the exported .csv file.
3. Delete all Location definitions, as discussed in Manage Location Definitions.
4. Select the new IP domain in the Properties dialog, as discussed in Enable IP Domain Monitoring at the Collector.
5. Import the .csv file, as discussed in Import Location Definitions.
