Could anyone please explain the difference between IP Address and Reported IP Address as shown for a computer on the jamf client?
Couldn't get a clear answer for that.
Thanks !

I can't swear to this, but in my understanding, the IP address is the IP address that the computer has (as reported in System Preferences), and the "Reported IP Address" is where the JAMF Pro server sees the traffic coming from. In our case, the reported IP address is usually one fo the IPs from our firewall, or the IP form the ISP the user is using.

Would definitely agree with @Chris_Hafner
When comparing our computer records it seems to be the following informations:
IP Address = Public IP (ISP Provider)
Reported IP Address = local network address (getting from the DHCP server)
Best,
