Greetings,
Is is possible to blacklist automatic subnet ranges from our AD integration if we don't want to use them, and we don't want them to show up as "Unassigned Subnets"? We have an on-prem installation of FNMS.
Thanks!

Hi,
Afaik there's no out of the box option. You could:

Thanks for the tips @mfranz .
I just found this section in online help about ignoring subnets: https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2019R2/FR/WebHelp/index.html#tasks/AssigningSaStoBeacon.html
It says we can select subnets under "Unassigned Subnets" and choose to ignore them, which means they can't be used for inventory collection. Could we use that option to ignore the /16 subnets coming in from AD, so we can add smaller subnet ranges instead? And, if we ignore the automatic ones from AD, will that setting NOT get overridden the next time our AD integrations run?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I understood you wanted to prevent these subnets from being imported.
I usually create sites and subnets manually for remote vCenter and Oracle inventory. For example, I create a site "_ORA" and add only subnets as needed for all Oralce servers. Or a site "_VC" and only add IPs/subnets needed for this remote task. These are then set to "Update automatically" = "No".
So you wouldn't even have to disable existing subnets, just create your own structure that fits your process.
