We need to provision some element that have a return interface which is set to the IP address of the DMA.
See documentation for https://catalog.dataminer.services/result/driver/2795
This means that the IP is not the device IP but needs to be set dynamically to the IP of the DMA server that the element will be provisioned on.
In IDP Provision we have a tag [IPAddress]
Since a DMA can have two IPs, are there similar tags for the Primary or Secondary IP of the DMA that the element will be provisioned on?
Is something like this possible?
Hi Jeroen,
The placeholder [IPAddress] represents the IP address the device has used when replying to the discovery requests. This it the placeholder you would use on a typical connection (like the Serial Main Connection of this specific connector).
There are no placeholders for the local IP addresses of the agent. Alternatively, what you can do is
- When you configure the IP Address field with any, then DataMiner would allow requests on all its IP addresses.
- When all elements of this CI Type will be hosted on the same DMA, configure the IP address field in the CI type with either the primary or secondary IP of the DMA.
- When the elements will be hosted on different agent, configure the IP address field in the CI type with a dummy field and use an Update Properties script to change the IP address of the connection. This script is triggered by IDP after the element has been provisioned.
