Can I add multiple nodes with the same IP address in Orion?
This is a common question ask by users deploying/deployed Additional Polling Engines on different networks with the same IP Subnet. See the requirement in the Resolution section to achieve this.

Resolution
In order to add an overlapping IP address to Orion, you will have to own a licensed additional polling engine. In other words, as long as those nodes with the same IP are managed by different Polling Engines, Orion should work just fine.
For more information on additional polling engines, see the Scalability Engine Guidelines . There may be some outside product configuration required to monitor overlapping IP addresses. See the this THWACK post to review a community article for more information.
