Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Add the ranges to the Excluded IP Ranges related list.

The Excluded IP Ranges related list on the Discovery Schedule record allows you to explicitly ignore specific IPs.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Add the ranges to the Excluded IP Ranges related list.

    Why this is correct

    This is the native feature for this requirement.

  • Configure a Discovery Behavior to exclude the IPs.

    Why it's wrong here

    Behaviors do not exclude IP ranges.

  • Delete the original schedule and recreate two smaller schedules.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is inefficient.

  • Create an ACL to block the IP addresses.

    Why it's wrong here

    ACLs control access, not discovery targets.

Visual reference

192.168.1.0 /24 256 addresses (254 usable) 192.168.1.0 /25 Subnet A 128 addr (126 usable) 192.168.1.128 /25 Subnet B 128 addr (126 usable) Borrowing 1 bit from host portion creates 2 subnets (/25)
