NOTE
When you find targets using the MAC address wildcard, the Products Found table shows the
IP addresses of hosts connected to the routers. IP addresses of hosts connected to L2
switches are blank because Layer 2 switches typically do not learn the IP addresses of end
nodes attached to the Layer 2 switch as it is not in the ARP table of the switch.
NOTE
You cannot use special addresses (such as a broadcast MAC address (FFFF.FFFF.FFFF) or any
MAC in multicast range (0100.5E00.0000 – 0100.5E7F.FFFF) to find products.
Click Stop to stop the search.
The table shows the following information:
• Product — The product icon and host name of the device that has seen or learned the MAC
addresses for which you searched, or the host name of the device where the MAC address
belongs to the network device.
• Product IP Address — The IP address of the device that has seen or learned the target IP
address.
• Interface — The interface that has seen or learned the MAC address.
• Interface Name — The administratively configured name of the interface.
• VLAN — The VLAN ID of the interface.
• Target MAC Address — The MAC address you wanted to find. This field standardizes the
MAC address format as follows: aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff.
• Target IP Address — The IP address you wanted to find.
You can sort the search results by a specific column by clicking the column header. Click the
same column header again to reverse the sort order.
