Searching for 1 IP address in Oneclick brings up 3 devices

Products

• DX NetOps
• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

While I try to search for an IP address,  it will show 3 devices with different ip's & host name.

Environment

Dx NetOps Spectrum any version

Cause

Functioning as designed

Resolution

If you have 3 devices and they each have a common IP address in the ipAdEntAddrtable (attribute), and you do a locator search for that IP address, you will find all 3 devices.  If a trap is sent from the common IP address it will be applied to all 3 devices that share that address.  If you wish to change this, it would need to be changed at the device level
