	Feature-based reports are covered elsewhere in this guide, please refer to
	Table 79 for further information. In addition to these the following report
	types are also available:
	■	Inventory Report
	■	Capacity Report

	■	Free Ports Report

Reports are produced in HTML and may also be exported to CSV.

Reports use a simple form of sorting in that the first column is sorted alpha-numerically. For example, a set of IP addresses would be sorted 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.11, 10.0.0.12, 10.0.0.13, 10.0.0.2 and so on.

Inventory Report You can obtain an inventory of devices on your network using the Inventory Report. For each device, the Inventory Report lists the following details:

■IP address

■Device type

■MAC address

■Device name

This report is launched from the Reports dialog box and is selection-sensitive. If you have a number of devices in a stack (e.g. a Switch 3300 and Switch 1100), all unit types are listed in the Type column. Similarly, if a modular device (e.g. the Switch 4007), has several cards in it, each card type is listed in this column. For convenience, it also displays the number of devices reported on at the start of the report.
