I was wondering if it's an absolute that when bulk importing IP Devices that the ip field needs to be a numeric address and not a DNS name.
Apparently it is. As the format goes: #roomid:ip:orgid:catid:[ro:serial:rw:function:subcat1:subcat2..] ^^
Firstly, EditDB should not blow up like that over such an error in the input. I would likely file that as a bug - if you'd like to, you can file it yourself at http://sf.net/projects/nav .
Secondly, I do think it should support DNS lookup when host names are used in bulk input. I believe it already does so when adding a single device. This should be added as a feature request on the above page.
Morten,
That's precisely why I was confused. I've been able to add single devices using their DNS names, but when it came to the bulk import, no luck.
Thanks for your reply, I'll try to submit the bug today sometime.
Regards,
Mark
