Searching for a Hub or Spoke by WAN IP

Either I'm too blind to see the method, or I'm missing a method to find a Spoke Site.

 

I have a bunch of VPN connections going up and down, being logged in the Event Log. This event only logs the WAN IP of the site. However, I have no way of finding out what site this IP refers to.

With a handful of sites this is not real issue, but once we hit hundreds of sites, I have no idea this site the IP belongs to.

 

Is it possible that the event could include the MX Hostname, of the other end of the VPN? Or even a link to said site?

Organization > Overview > Devices (tab) > Use settings cog to add 'Public IP' column

 

I believe this should give you a view of what you want.

Aha! - Never too old to learn new tricks!

 

It's close though, but unfortunately no cigar. It looks like this particular IP isn't showing up in the list, so I'm guessing it's a WAN2 Public IP.

What about if you add instead the Uplink IP (Port 1) and (Port 2) columns?

Same, IP doesn't show up, unfortunately.

That's strange, I've just looked at a few different Orgs and for MX devices those 2 columns are all displaying the devices correct WAN 1 and WAN 2 IP.

Are the IPs directly on the WAN interfaces? I suspect, it's only showing the Uplink IP, which may be NAT'ed

Ah that will be the difference then. 99% of our deployments will have the public IP directly on the interface.

Best way to do it is with the API.

 

Dashboard is unrealiable as you saw. I had a case opened years ago about WAN2 not showing up from Organization > Overview > Devices , the response was : it's working as designed.

Yeah, I was considering just making a search tool to lookup the appliance with the matching IP.
