Question

Device Inventory - many devices missing address

Greetings,

I am running that latest version 5.4.1 on a Fortigate 100D.  Many of my active devices shown in the "Device Inventory" are missing IP addresses (shown blank) although I can assure you that the devices themselves have IP addresses and are accessing the internet.  They do show MAC addresses.

 

Anyone else seen this?  If there a way to fix?

    I have the same. FortiOS v5.4.1, Build 1064 on FG 100D. I add alias and IP cuts.

    How to fix it?

    Similar problem here. IP addresses seem to be ok but if I add an alias to a machine in the device inventory, the OS disappears (it wasn't very accurate anyway, some Win10 PC's are showing as WinXP). Also another strange issue is that sometimes the hostname disappears and is replaced by the MAC address.

    At home and in my data center, the only servers and device Fortinet needs to know about are those with inbound rules like Exchange, Web servers and anything that gets traffic from the internet.  Everything else should remain hidden from Fortinet.  At home I have my web server with virtual IP policies.  In my data center Exchange and all the web apps.  I really don't want either 800C and 60E worrying itself with all the other information filling up RAM and resources.
