The IP/MAC Address Finder applet searches the IP Address Translation Table (the
ipNetToMediaTable
) in each device agent for IP addresses, and the Forwarding Database (FDB) for
MAC addresses.
NOTE
The IP/MAC Address Finder applet will not identify a device’s own IP address when you search for IP addresses on
that device. In other words, the applet will not find IP address 10.2.3.4 on the switch whose address is 10.2.3.4. It
can only find addresses that are in the agent’s IP Address Translation table, and a device’s own address is not
included in the table. The applet will find the address on the other switches that have connectivity to the switch
with the target IP address, however.
NOTE
Each search task can return a maximum of 2,000 MAC address entries. If a search returns more than 2,000 entries,
a warning message is displayed in the status window. If you see a warning message, add additional search
constraints to reduce the number of returned MAC addresses to less than 2,000.
Detailed Task View
When you initiate a search, the task is placed in the Find Address Tasks list in the Component Tree. The
main panel displays the Detailed Task View for the current search task.
While the task is in progress, the window shows the status as Pending . When the search is complete,
the Detailed Task View shows the results for the search ( Figure 118 ).
