The None domain is a special domain that allows users to map IPs/ranges without associating the IPs with a registered domain name. You may define one None domain with multiple netblocks for your account. When the None domain is defined, you can map any of the IPs/ranges included in the netblocks. Optionally, map IPs from asset groups. In this case, the service uses a temporary None domain by enclosing all IPs from the group into a single map report.
Each account may include one None domain. The None domain may include several netblocks (IPs and IP ranges). Go to your domain assets list (Tools > Domain Assets) to determine whether the None domain has already been defined for your account. If the None domain is not listed, go to New > Domains to add it at this time.
The None domain should be added using the following format:
none:[netblock1,netblock2,netblock3,...]
For example, you might enter the following:
none:[64.41.134.59-64.41.134.61,64.172.28.138-64.172.28.142]
You can map any of the IP addresses within the square brackets, which represents the domain's netblocks. Make sure the None domain includes all IPs that you want to map. To add netblocks, edit the None domain and insert netblocks into the Associated Netblocks field.
Once defined, you can add the None domain to asset groups just like you would other domains in your account. When adding the domain to the asset group, you can restrict the netblock in the asset group to only include IPs applicable to the group. For example, your corporation may include multiple distinct netblocks in which case you may want to create multiple asset groups with a different netblock in each.
The following methods are used to map IPs/ranges using the special None domain.
Map IPs defined in the None domain. You can map any of the IP addresses included in the None domain's configuration. Simply type the IPs you want to map into the Domains/Netblocks field. The IPs entered will be validated against the None domain in your account. If all of the entered IPs are included in the None domain configuration, then the map is successfully launched. If some of the IPs are not included in the configuration, then you must add those IPs to the None domain in order to map them in this way.
Map an asset group with the None domain. If you added the None domain to an asset group, then select the asset group and the Domains check box to map the None domain as it is defined in the group. If the group includes multiple domains, then the service produces a separate map report for each domain in the group.
Map IPs in an asset group (temporary None domain). You can map the IP addresses in an asset group. In this case, the IP addresses in the asset group do not have to be part of the None domain configuration. Select the asset group you want to target and select the IPs check box to map the IPs in the group. The IPs are validated against your host assets list (Tools > Host Assets). All of the IPs from the group are enclosed into a temporary None domain created by the service. If you select multiple groups, then the service produces a separate map report for each group. Note that a user-defined None domain is not required in your account to map IPs from asset groups.
When you generate a map report, you first select the domain you want to report on and then 1 or 2 saved maps for that domain to include in the report.
To generate a map report for maps produced on IPs/ranges, select "No Domain" from the Domain drop-down menu. The list of saved results that becomes available may include: 1) maps produced on the user-defined None domain and 2) maps produced on the temporary None domain (IPs from asset groups). The map target in both cases appears in this format: none:[netblock1, netblock2, ...]
If the None domain is not defined in your account, then the only saved results listed when "No Domain" is selected are maps produced using the temporary None domain. These are maps generated on IPs from asset groups. In this case, you can only view and select from maps that you launched. You will not have visibility into maps launched by other users.
If the None domain is defined in your account, then you can view and select any saved map on the None domain (user-defined and temporary), regardless of which user launched the map.
