Issue/Introduction

There are two Pingables with the same IP address but different MAC Addresses.
Shouldn't it have generated a duplicate model alarm?

  • DUPLICATE MODEL DETECTED - 0x1090f - 0x10517 
  • DUPLICATE IP WITH DIFFERENT MAC DETECTED - 0x10910 - 0x10518
  • DUPLICATE MAC WITH DIFFERENT IP DETECTED - 0x10911 - 0x10519
  • DUPLICATE MAC MODEL DETECTED - 0x10912 - 0x1051a

Environment

Spectrum: Any version

Cause

Someone has manually changed one of the following attributes on the Pingable models to No:

  • IsDuplicateIPDiffMAC  -  0x11cdf
  • isDuplicateMACDiffIP  -  0x11ce1
  • isDuplicateModel  -  0x11cdd 

Resolution

Set one of them to Yes on both duplicated Pingable models, and the alarm will be generated.
