Exporting Task Results To A Text File - Extreme Networks EPICenter Software Installation Manual

Using the IP/MAC Address Finder
The Search Results list shows the results of the search. For every address successfully located, this list
shows:
• Both the MAC address and the corresponding IP address.
• The switch and port to which the address is connected.
• The User (name) currently logged in at that address.
Once the search is complete, the search results will stay in the Tasks List until you explicitly delete them
using the Delete Function from the Tasks List Summary View, or until you exit the EPICenter client.
From the Task Detail window you can do the following:
• Click Delete to delete this task. This deletes the task specification as well as the task results.
• Click ReRun to execute the task again.
• Click Clone to bring up the Find Addresses window with the specifications of the selected task
already displayed.
• Click Export to export task search results to a text file on the server machine. See "Exporting Task
Results to a Text File" on page 240 for more information.
• Click Export Local to export task search results locally to a text file on your client system. You can
only use this feature if you are running the stand-alone client on your local system. If you are using
the browser-based client, this button will be greyed out. See "Exporting Task Results to a Text File"
on page 240 for more information.
The text field is located above the Delete, ReRun, Clone, and so on, action buttons. It provides search
status details, such as a list of devices that are offline or not reachable.
