How Jamf collects IP addresses

Hello all,

I am wondering how Jamf collects IP addresses of computers when their network changes. If I had a Macbook go from one site to another, and they had different subnets, would it send that IP address info to Jamf right away and by default, or is there a setting that needs to be enabled for that?

 

Thanks!

Mine picks them up as they change, I guess they need to check in with the server, so there might be a short delay whilst that has to work.
Nothing that I am aware of configured for it to do it for me.

So I remembered I can easily test this by plugging ethernet in and see if it sees the IP change on Jamf. It didn't do it until I ran policy, so it's not doing it automatically like it did in my old workplace. In settings > Computer Management - Management Framework > Check-in > Allow Network State Change Triggers, it is not checked. I'm wondering if checking that would enable it to find the new IP address right away.

Computers report their IP addresses to Jamf Pro with every check-in, which can range from 5-60 minutes depending on your settings.
