LAN (Subnets) - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>Introduction</p> <p>After your network devices are loaded into IT Glue, the Configurations list view gives you a complete view of just the devices, and this can be filtered and sorted in multiple ways.</p> <p>To document subnets, use the LAN flexible asset. With this flexible asset, you're primarily adding links to devices, so that you can later fetch one from the other and vice-versa. It was designed simply and is a great example of an asset that can be expanded over time.</p> <p>Note that if traffic on the network is separated using VLANs, the LAN flexible asset is where you should document the VLAN configurations, adding links to the relevant <a href="https://kaseya.vanillacommunities.com/kb/articles/aliases/itglue/hc/en-us/articles/360004939258-Switches" rel="noopener nofollow">switches</a>. Alternatively, if the VLAN is completely separate despite being connected to the same router (e.g. a guest wireless network), you could consider creating the VLAN as a sub-organization instead. This lets you make sure the VLAN configuration has more visibility whenever there is an issue to troubleshoot. For more information on using sub-organizations, see <a href="https://kaseya.vanillacommunities.com/kb/articles/aliases/itglue/hc/en-us/articles/360004934517-When-to-use-sub-organizations-" rel="noopener nofollow">Working with sub-organizations</a>.</p> <p>Preparation</p> <ul><li>Load the network attached devices in the client environment as configurations.</li> <li>Visit <strong>Account > Flexible Asset Types > LAN </strong>to ensure the available fields and drop-down options are in line with the information you want to capture.
