646 Links
If two devices have the same port level IP address when the link is being created, the application
uses the first address found to create the link. If the first one found is the on the wrong MO, port
level link creation will default to using the top level MO of the device selected for link discovery
rather than the incorrect MO. In this case the endpoint appears as the top level MO rather than the
port.
NOTE:
To search the database for the duplicate, first execute startbombrowser, then set the package to
RedCell.config, the Class to NetworkResourceIPLookup, selection IPAddress as the attribute, and set
Value to the <ip address> you are looking for. This is the port IP address on the device that is not showing
port level link discovery. Do not edit anything with the BOMbrowser. If the BOM Query does find
duplicate IPs, reconfigure the device(s) IPs and run resync on the MO to remove duplicates from the
database.
