1.
Enter the value you want to search on in the Search(regex) field located in the top right of
the topology view. You can enter a regular expression for more complex searches.
For an exact match, $ should be appended at the end. For example, if there are IP addresses
like 10.10.10.10, 10.10.10.100, 10.10.10.101, 10.10.10.102, etc. and if you want to search
for only 10.10.10.10, you should put the search string as 10.10.10.10$.

Pin
To pin or unpin the switches and end nodes, press
X
or select
View
→
Pin All
.
When you enable Pin All nodes and Auto Refresh, if any topology updates occur (such as an
end host moved or was removed), then Pin All is automatically removed to update the topology
and then once the topology is updated, the topology is pinned back. However if you had any
customized view then that may be changed during that time. If the number of nodes increases
by more than 500 (both switch and end hosts), Pin All will be enabled and disabled automatically.
Once node count comes down to less than 500, Pin All will be re-enabled.
