Using the IP/MAC Address Finder
Note that All is added to the search list in addition to any individually-specified
addresses. The All specification does overlap with the other target addresses.
However, this allows the user to remove the All specification without losing the
other addresses in the search list.
— Click the WildCard button to search for a MAC address defined only by the first
three hexadecimal tuples.
— Click the Remove Address button to remove an address from the list
3 Define the search domain. The Targe t D oma in s listspecifiesthescopeofthedevicesto
be included in the search. Devices not included in this domain will not be searched.
You can define the search space in several ways:
— Devices lets you select individual devices to include in the search
—Domainslets you search all the devices in a specified device group
—Portslets you select individualports to include inthe search
—PortGroupslets you search all the devices in a specified port group
You can create a target domain that includes a combination of these specifications.
The IP/MAC Finder applet does not support hierarchical port groups. If you have
created port groups in the Grouping Manager that include subgroups as
members, the subgroups will not appear in the Target Domains list. Instead, any
ports that are members of subgroups will be displayed directly under the top-level port
group, as if they are members of the top-level group.
4 If you select Devices or Ports as the Source Type, you must also select a Device Group
from the Select Group field to define the list of devices that will appear in the Devices
list. If you select Domains or PortGroups, this field well be inactive.
5 Select the Device, Port, Device Group, or Port Group that you want to search and click
Add Domain to move it into the Target Domains list.
To remove a member of the Target Domains list, select the item in the list and click
Remove Domain. To clear the Target Domains list, click Clear All.
6 When you have completed your search specification, click the Submit button at the
bottom of the window to initiate the search.
The IP/MAC Finder applet searches the IP Address Translation Table (the
ipNetToMediaTable) in each deviceagentfor IP addresses, and the Forwarding Database
(FDB) for MAC addresses.
