Duplicate Detection When Converting Unknown End Systems to Devices

NetBrain currently allows a user to manually convert an unknown end system entry into a full End System device without validating whether a matching device record already exists. This can result in duplicate device entries that distort topology maps and complicate network visibility. This enhancement proposes adding a validation step during the manual conversion process to check for existing devices with matching identifying attributes, such as IP or MAC address, before a new device record is created. Customers who rely on accurate topology maps would benefit from reduced manual cleanup and improved confidence in device inventory integrity.
