There may be situations where you want to add an asset back to your inventory that was previously removed. Cortex Xpanse will not allow you to upload an asset that was previously removed, but you can undo the removal to add that asset back to the inventory.

A common use case for undoing a removal is when an IPv4 range has been removed, but you want to add back an IP address that falls within that range. In that case you can undo the removal of the range, and then submit a new removal request for the ranges before and after the IP address that you want to add back. For example, if you removed IP range 192.0.2.0 -192.0.2.24, but then realized you need to include 192.0.2.10 in your inventory, you would:

  1. Undo the removal for IP range 192.0.2.0 -192.0.2.24.

  2. Submit a new asset removal request that includes IP ranges 192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.9 and 192.0.2.11 - 192.0.2.24

How to undo an asset removal
  1. Navigate to SettingsConfigurationsAsset ManagementAsset Uploads/Removals.

  2. In the Asset Uploads/Removals table, find the asset you want to add back to the inventory. An asset must be in the Removed state to undo the removal (and add it back to the inventory).

  3. Right-click the row and select Undo Asset Removal. Click Yes to confirm the removal.

    After confirming the Undo Asset Removal action, the asset will no longer appear in the table.
