MAC Address Query Window

MAC Address Query Window

MAC Addresses are used within a network to identify specific ports on an interface. Other devices in the network use MAC addresses to locate ports in order to create and update routing tables and data structures. The MAC Address Query window allows you to query a Network Element for a MAC address.

The query results of a Network Element based on a MAC address display in an Action Report window, indicating data similar to a “show mac address table address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx” command.

Note MAC address queries may require extensive lengths of time to complete depending on the inventory of the Network Element object being queried.

To launch the MAC Address Query window, perform one of the following:

Right–click a Site object within the Network or Physical containment views, then choose

CSM/7600 Manager > NE MAC Address Query.

Right–click a Network Element object within the Network or Physical containment views, then choose NE MAC Address Query.

The following figure is an example of the MAC Address Query window.
