IP Address Searching

Search for interface IP addresses

Overview

Partner users can search for interface IP addresses on watches which may not be in Highlight. Previously, interface IP addresses were only available following a tech test but not stored. This feature will also find device IP addresses.

Note: To enable this feature to work, MIB tables must not be locked down.

Located in the user menu, select IP Search and enter an IPv4 address (IPv6 is not supported). In order to reduce the number of results, partial addresses and wildcards are not allowed. Use X to clear the search.

If a matching interface is found for the IP address entered, then all interfaces associated with that device are also returned, provided the interface has an IP address. The IP addresses which match the search are indicated by blue badges.

Data returned includes the following fields:

Column	Contents
Location	This is the Highlight location containing the device with the matching IP address. This is a link so clicking it moves the tree to that location. Note: There may be more than one location for an IP address. Results are sorted alphabetically by location name.
Device Name	If available, the name associated with a device.
Device IP (address)	This is the device IP address.
Interface (name)	This is the long interface name (IFDescr).
Interface IP (address)	This is the interface IP address.
Alias	If available, the alias associated with the interface (IFAlias).

Collapse/Expand

By default, the results are expanded to show all interfaces on a device. It's possible to collapse/expand the results to show only locations using the - / + to the left of the Location column.

Sort Order

Results are sorted alphabetically by location name. Reverse this by clicking on the header. The arrow indicates the sort order.
