Adding and modifying an IP range

Initially, Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console gets IP ranges for polling from the network settings of the distribution point device which is used for network polling. If the device address is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console includes the network 192.168.0.0/24 in the list of polling address automatically. Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console polls all addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254. You can modify the automatically defined IP ranges or add custom IP ranges.

To add a new IP range:

In the main menu, click the settings icon () next to the name of the required Administration Server.
The Administration Server properties window opens.
On the General tab, select the Distribution points section.
Click the name of the distribution point that you want to use to poll the network.
The distribution point properties window opens.
Select the IP ranges polling section.
To add a new IP range, click the Add button.
In the window that opens, specify the following settings:
- Name
  A name of the IP range. You might want to specify the IP range itself as its name, for example, "192.168.0.0/24".
- IP interval or subnet address and mask
  Set the IP range by specifying either the start and end IP addresses or the subnet address and subnet mask. You can add as many subnets as you need. Named IP ranges are not allowed to overlap, but unnamed subnets inside an IP range have no such restrictions.
- IP address lifetime (hours)
  When specifying this parameter make sure that it exceeds the polling interval set in the polling schedule. If an IP address is not verified by polling during the IP address lifetime, this IP address is automatically removed from the polling results. By default, the life span of the polling results is 24 hours, because dynamic IP addresses (assigned using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)) change every 24 hours.
Click the OK button.

The new IP range is added to the list of IP ranges.

When the polling is complete, you can view the list of discovered devices by using the Devices button. By default, the life span of the polling results is 24 hours and it is equal to the IP address lifetime setting.
