You can paste a MAC address or IP address into the address field; place the cursor into the first cell
of the address and paste an address you have copied, using your system’s keyboard paste command
(Ctrl-V in Windows). For example, you might copy an address from a report or a syslog entry to
paste into the IP/MAC Address Finder.

group, as if they are members of the top-level group.
