Address Finder dialog box

3. Select the MAC Address option and enter the address in hexadecimal characters in the field.

You can use any of the following methods to separate the characters in the address:

Hyphens (for example: aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff)

Periods (for example: aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff)

Colons (for example: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff)

Spaces (for example: aa bb cc dd ee ff)

No spaces (for example: aabbccddeeff)

To find more than one address, use question marks as wildcard characters (for example:
aa-bb-cc-dd-??-??).

NOTE

Wildcard character search is not supported on Network OS products.

4. Select the Find only in the selected products check box to limit the search to selected products.

When you access Address Finder from the Element Manager interface (refer to

“Element

Manager interface overview”

on page 841), the Find only in the selected products check box is

selected by default to limit the search to the selected Ethernet router device.

5. Select the product you want to include in the search in the Available Products list.

6. Click the right arrow button to move the selected products to the Selected Products list.

7. Click Find to begin the search.

If the search is successful, the products display in the Products Found table as they are found.
Note that products may not display immediately.

NOTE

When Address Finder searches for the Target MAC address and no topology information exists
(for example, FDP & LLDP is disabled on the router and switch), two entries display – one from
the router and one from the switch.
