Finding Devices

You can search for a device in the EPICenter database by name, by IP address, or by type of device. This
may be useful if you have a large number of devices in your inventory.
To search for a device, follow these steps:
1 Click Find at the top of the Configuration Manager page.
2 Enter your search criteria:
You can search for devices by name or by IP address. You can limit the search to a specific device
group, or to a specific type of Extreme device. Search criteria can include:
— A device name. Click the Device Name button, and enter a complete or partial name in the
Search: field.
— An IP address. Click the IP Address button and enter a complete or partial IP address in the
Search: field. You can use the wild card characters * or ? in your search criteria.
*
acts as a wildcard for an entire octet (0-255)
?
is a wildcard for a single digit (0-9)
— A device group. Select the device group from the drop-down menu in the device group field. If
you do not specify a name or IP address in the Search field, all devices in the device group you
select will be found.
— A device type. Select the device type from the drop-down menu in the type field. If you do not
specify a name or IP address in the Search field, all devices of the type you select will be found.
3 Click Find to search for devices that meet the criteria you have specified. All devices found are listed
in the center panel. Information includes the device group in which the device can be found, its
name, IP address, and the type of device.
4 Double-click on a device in the results table to highlight the device in the Component Tree, or select
a device in the results table and click Go To, to display the configuration information for that device.
If you click Go To, the search window will close.
