This search window lets you search the Port Lists for "IP address", "MAC address", "DNS name" or "Port Label" information. You can use this to get answers to questions like
In the Port Lists, "Port Label" fields show what's stored in the "name" field for each port in a UCAR Catalyst switch. The UCAR NETS folks use the port label field to indicate what the port is connected to. For example, the Catalyst Ethernet switch named ml-16c-c1-gs has a port label of "ML-31G-W1-3B" on port 6/11, indicating the port is connected to Mesa Lab room 31G, wallplate 1, port 3B. To learn more about the syntax used by NETS in location labels, see the NETS Names and Labels document.
Case is not significant in this search.
Virtual ports are skipped in this search to avoid cluttering the seach results with too many hits. We usually want to find a MAC address, IP address or DNS name for a machine on the switch port that it is connected to, not on virtual ports on other switches.
