Searching AirWave with the Home > Search Page
While the Search field at the top of every AMP page allows you to perform a quick search across a small number
of common categories, the Home > Search page conducts a deep system-wide search to find connected and
historical clients, VPN users, managed devices, rogue devices, rogue clients, groups, folders, and tags.
Search performs partial string searches on a large number of fields including the notes, version, secondary version,
radio serial number, device serial number, LAN MAC, radio MAC and apparent IP address of all the APs, as well
as the client MAC, VPN user, Client, LAN IP and VPN IP fields.
