Page 355 highlights

If IP_MASK is true and SUBNET is false, then OpenManage Network Manager accepts one of the 32 valid subnet masks. The widget displays pick list for user to choose from. For example 255.255.255.0 If IP_MASK is true and SUBNET is true, then OpenManage Network Manager accepts a subnet id (the first IP address within a subnet). For example 10.10.10.0/24, with 10.10.10.0 as the first address within the subnet spanning 10.10.10.0 to 10.10.10.254. Entering an IP address within the subnet, say 10.10.10.4/24, the attribute would convert that to 10.10.10.0/24 ALLOW_32_BIT_MASK- Valid subnet values are between 1 and 31. To extend this to support a 32-bit subnet, which is essentially a single IP address (10.10.10.4/32), set the ALLOW_32_BIT_MASK property. ALLOW_ANY_VALID_IP-To accept either an IP address, IP address and subnet or subnet, then IP_MASK remains false, SUBNET is true. With the ALLOW_ANY_VALID_IP true, the subnet field is optional and OpenManage Network Manager disables any requirement that a subnet id be specified. Basically the only validation is that a valid IP address is entered. For example, in this configuration, 10.10.10.4, 10.10.10.4/24 and 10.10.10.0/24 would all be valid. Scripts This screen manages the Adaptive CLI scripts created to query (show) devices or configure them. Dell OpenManage Network Manager runs only one script per target. Notice you can order multiple scripts with the arrow(s) to the right of a listed script. Dell OpenManage Network Manager uses the first script's filter to match the target. In other words, suppose there are two scripts, the first with filter = target.type = SWITCH, and the second with no filter. Then only SWITCH devices run the first script and quit. All other devices will not run first script, but run the second script since that script has no filter. Actions Portlet | Actions and Adaptive CLI 355

255.255.255.0
If IP_MASK is true and SUBNET is true, then OpenManage Network Manager accepts a subnet id

ALLOW_32_BIT_MASK
—Valid subnet values are between 1 and 31. To extend this to support a
32-bit subnet, which is essentially a single IP address (10.10.10.4/32), set the
ALLOW_32_BIT_MASK property.
ALLOW_ANY_VALID_IP
—To accept either an IP address, IP address and subnet or subnet,
then IP_MASK remains false, SUBNET is true. With the ALLOW_ANY_VALID_IP true, the
subnet field is optional and OpenManage Network Manager disables any requirement that a
