Creating a Search Task
EPICenter Reference Guide
255
The fields in this window are as follows:
Task Name A user-defined name for the task. The name helps you identify the task in the Find
Address Tasks List. Names of the form Task1, Task2 and so on are provided by default.
Search Targets The search criteria for addresses to find
Enter an Address area The addresses to be located:
• IP lets you enter an IP address (as four octets).
• MAC lets you enter a MAC address (as six hexadecimal tuples).
• All specifies that the IP/MAC Address Finder should find all addresses in the Target
Domain.
• WildCard enables a search for a MAC address defined only by the first three
hexadecimal tuples.
Add Adds the specified address to the Addresses to Find list.
Remove Address Removes selected addresses from the Addresses to Find list.
Addresses to Find Lists the addresses to find based on search criteria specified in the Enter an Address
area.
Search Type Define the search type: Database or Network.
Database Database performs a search from the EPICenter database using the collected edge port
information. EPICenter does not report unreachable devices with this type of search.
This option results in a much faster search.
A database search will not be available if MAC Polling is disabled; see “MAC Polling
Properties” on page 368 for information on enabling or disabling MAC Polling.
Network Network performs a search from the network by searching the devices in the search
domain. This option may take longer to complete, but can provide more current results.
If you perform a network search, EPICenter reports unreachable devices.
Search Domains Define the search domain criteria (the devices to be searched) for a Network search.
Note: No search domain can be specified if you are doing a Database search.
Source Type Specifies the type of elements that will appear in the search domains list, from which
you can select to add to the Target Domain.
Devices : Displays a list of individual devices from the device group specified in the
Select Group field.
Device Groups : Displays a list of device groups (domains).
Ports : Displays devices and ports from the device group specified in the Select Group
field.
Port Groups : Displays a list of Port Groups.
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 Device Groups or Port Groups, this field will be inactive.
Select Group Select a device group, to display the devices in that group in the search domains list.
Devices/Domains
/Ports/Port Groups Displays a list of components from which you can select to include in the Target
Domains list. The types of components available in this list is determined by your
selection in the Source Type field.
Add Moves the selected component to the Target Domains list.
Remove Removes the selected component from the Target Domains list.
