Figure 13-1. Example Name Table Dialog Box
There are several options you can set for the display and recording of name table
entries. Options are set by pressing the
Settings… button to bring up the Name Table
Settings dialog box
To learn all addresses, select the Learn Addresses check box in the Name Table
Settings dialog box. Surveyor will enter all new addresses. If no symbolic name is
associated with an address, the address is repeated in the name column for that entry
in the name table.
To learn only addresses that have corresponding symbolic names, make sure the
Learn Names check box is selected and the Learn Address check box is NOT
selected in the Name Table Settings dialog box. Surveyor will only add an item to
the name table when it discovers a character string associated with an address from
a DNS, SAP, or NetBIOS packet.
You can display the ASCII characters for well-known vendor names in the MAC
address. Check Display Vendor Names in the Name Table Settings dialog box to dis-
play vendor names. Vendor names will be displayed in the monitoring and capture
views as well as in the name table.
