Pro Tips #6: IP Address Management

[Esben_D]

The latest Pro Tips blog post covers methods of using Lansweeper for IP address management. While there isn't an IPAM module in Lansweeper, with some advanced reporting you can get some interesting data.

If you're looking for more ways to tackle IPAM with Lansweeper, this topic also has some interesting ideas: https://www.lansweeper.com/forum/yaf_postsm64652_So-close-to-providing-IPAM-capabilities.aspx#post64...

We need help implementing a workaround to prevent MACs from merging when sharing a USB-C Ethernet adapter. We Often use the docking station to configure/Image a MAC before provisioning to the user. We are using the LSAgent and of course when the LS uses the USBC ethernet adapter Physical address for the UNIQUE ID which causes conflict with a second MAC if using the same ethernet adapter. Is there anything that can be done about this without having to avoid sharing ethernet adapters?

Thanks

There are ways to blacklist MAC addresses that cause a merge, however this is usually only used for Network devices, not Windows/Mac/Linux. Maybe contact support and explain your case with some screenshots so they can provide you with the best guidance.
