Issue/Introduction

There is a router device discovered by IP xx.yy.ww.150, but time to time the PM changes its IP to xx.yy.ww.46 when contact is lost, even though we set it back to IP xx.yy.ww.150. The automatic IP change detection feature is disabled.

Environment

PM 23.3.2

Cause

NFA is setup to contribute to DA inventory, hence NFA is the source of the IP in DD Discovery profile.

Resolution

Removed the device IP xx.yy.ww.46 on NFA side.
