Connections IP address Hierarchy

The IP address of a connection is dynamically given by the network. The IP address shown in the Connections Dashboard is the IP address of the device or the session or the CDP. This section provides you the hierarchy that is followed to show the IP address. As shown in the figure below, at the top of the Connections IP address hierarchy is the Device IP address. Device IP address refers to the IP address of the Things/ Connection. If that is not available, the next preference is given to the Session IP that is binding the device to the Management Portal. If the device IP or the Session IP is not available then the preference is given to the CDP IP address.
