Enhanced IT Visibility Importer tool

Note:This enhancement is available with IT Visibility.

Previously, when the IT Visibility Importer tool imported inventory data from FlexNet Manager On-Premises into IT Visibility for consumption, it did not maintain the relationship between the MAC addresses and IP addresses, even though it did import MAC addresses and IP addresses. This behavior was not ideal from a security perspective because knowing the accurate mapping relationship between MAC addresses and IP addresses is important for identifying individual devices on the network, detecting potential security incidents, implementing network segmentation, and so on.

Now, when you use the IT Visibility Importer tool to import inventory data from FlexNet Manager On-Premises into IT Visibility, both the MAC-to-IP mapping and IP-to-MAC mapping are populated and maintained in IT Visibility. This enhancement helps you manage devices and maintain network security more effectively.
