Hi Jason<\/p>\n
you only give the network scan ranges in the remote site.<\/p>\n
central is for the local subnets.<\/p>\n
we have 2 spiceworks servers localy one for scanning (remote collector)and one central server with ticket systems<\/p>\n
and then we have 3 remote sites with remote collectors on them with the subnets of that sites<\/p>\n
all remote collectors send to the central installation.<\/p>\n
on our central SW we dont have any scan ranges set<\/p>\n
Kind Regards,<\/p>\n

I have a central spiceworks installation scanning several remote sites. Turned out that this was causing bandwidth issues on the WAN connection of a couple of those sites. I have since set-up remote collectors at those sites but what I am confused about is do I leave the IP range of the remote site on the network scan setting page of the central server?<\/strong> If I do will it mean the central server will continue to scan the site over the WAN rather than use the remote collector?<\/p>\n Thanks<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2015-04-09T10:03:14.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/ip-ranges-and-remote-collectors/394534/1","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jasonnightall","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/jasonnightall"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":" Great Thanks Darksync<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2015-04-09T10:35:04.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/ip-ranges-and-remote-collectors/394534/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jasonnightall","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/jasonnightall"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":" As a side note, you may have to delete the Inventory from the remote sites. Spiceworks tracks what site “discovered” a given device. Whatever site discovered it is in charge of scanning it from then on.<\/p>\n So if your CS discovered a bunch of remote devices, and you add some Remote Collectors to the mix, the CS will still try to scan those devices directly (not through a Remote Collector).<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2015-04-09T11:22:57.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/ip-ranges-and-remote-collectors/394534/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"matts","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/matts"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":" ok, so that means I would have to delete all devices on the class C subnet 192.168.2.x for example.
