Generic —Any user-defined attribute other than an IP Address or Netlogin ID.
IP/Subnet —An IP address and subnet mask.
Netlogin ID —A User ID or Host ID as it will be detected by Netlogin in the switch.
L4 —A valid UDP or TCP port or range of ports.
5 Enter a value for the attribute:
For a Generic attribute, enter a string.
For an IP/Subnet attribute, fill in the fields provided, and edit the subnet mask specification as
appropriate.
For a Netlogin ID, enter a string. In order to be recognized correctly by Netlogin in Extreme
switches, this should be the user name (login name) or host name as known within the network.
For an L4 attribute enter a single UDP or TCP port or a range of UDP or TCP ports using the
following format: Type/range. For example, both TCP/45 and UDP/34-56 are valid entries.

Searching for a Resource
If you have a large number of resources defined in your EPICenter database, it may be cumbersome to
find a specific resource in the Component Tree. In addition, you may want to be able to quickly identify
all the resources that share a certain attribute. The Grouping Manager’s Search function lets you find
resources using any of the resource information fields as well as attributes as search criteria.
A search can be initiated either from the main toolbar, or by using the Find button in the Add Resource
or Add Relationship pop-up windows. Setting up and executing the search is the same regardless of
where you initiate the search; however, the actions you can take with the results differ depending on
where you started from.
The Search Results provide you with the name of the resources that match your criteria, and the paths
(group hierarchy) to where the resources reside within your search scope.
