I'm trying to discover just loopback interfaces. They all are in a specific, um, "range" for lack of a better term. Devices are organized by region and each region basically has a /16 assigned to it. The loopbacks are assigned to the last /24 in that region's assigned /16 (i.e. 10.x.255.x) and increment from there. Math-wise on paper, I can take 10.0.255.0 with a mask of 255.0.255.0 and come up with only those IP's for the loopbacks. However, if I try to do a network discovery using this of course it doesn't work. Orion doesn't balk, it just treats it like a /24 unfortunately. So, is there any ~easy~ way to discovery these devices without giving it the entire /8?
