MAC Address Query Window
MAC Addresses are used within a network to identify specific ports on an
interface. Other devices in the network use MAC addresses to locate ports in order
to create and update routing tables and data structures. The MAC Address Query
window allows you to query a Network Element for a MAC address.
The query results of a Network Element based on a MAC address display in an
Action Report window, indicating data similar to a “show mac address table
address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx” command.
Note MAC address queries may require extensive lengths of time to complete
depending on the inventory of the Network Element object being queried.
To launch the MAC Address Query window, either:
• Right–click a Site object within the Network or Physical containment views,
then choose CSM/7600 Manager > NE MAC Address Query.
Or
