Searching for Network Devices

Chapter 3 Network Configuration

Network Device Searches

•Type—The device type, as specified by the AAA protocol that it is configured to use, or the kind of AAA server it is. You can also search for Solution Engine remote agents. If you do not want to limit the search based on device type, choose Any from the Type list.

•Device Group—The NDG to which the device is assigned. This search criterion only appears if you have enabled Network Device Groups on the Advanced Options page in the Interface Configuration section. If you do not want to limit the search based on NDG membership, select Any from the Device Group list.

To search for a network device:

Step 1 In the navigation bar, click Network Configuration.

The Network Configuration page opens.

Step 2 Click Search.

The Search for Network Devices page appears. In the configuration area, the controls for setting search criteria appear above the search results for the most recent search that was previously conducted for this session, if any.

Tip When you leave the Search for Network Devices page, ACS retains your search criteria and results for the duration of the current administrative session. Until you log out of ACS, you can return to the Search for Network Devices page to view your most recent search criteria and results.

Step 3 Set the criteria for a device search. For information about search criteria, see Network Device Search Criteria, page 3-6.

Tip To reset the search criteria to default settings, click Clear.

Step 4 Click Search.

A table lists each network device configured in ACS that matches the search criteria you specified. If ACS did not find a matching network device, the message No Search Results appears.

The table listing that matches network devices includes the device name, IP address, and type. If you have enabled Network Device Groups on the Advanced Options page in the Interface Configuration Section, the table also includes the NDG of each matching network device.

Tip You can sort the table rows by whichever column you want, in ascending or descending order. Click a column title once to sort the rows by the entries in that column in ascending order. Click the column a second time to sort the rows by the entries in that column in descending order.

Step 5 If you want to view the configuration settings for a network device found by the search, click the network device name in the Name column in the table of matching network devices.

ACS displays the applicable setup page. For information about the AAA Client Setup page, see AAA Client Configuration Options, page 3-8. For information about the AAA Server Setup page, see AAA Server Configuration Options, page 3-15.
