MAC Address Query Window
MAC Addresses are used within a network to identify specific ports on an
interface. Other devices in the netw ork 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 M AC 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 bein g queried.
To launch the MAC Address Query window, perform one of the following:
• Right–click a Site object within the Network or Physical cont ainment views,
then choose
CSM/7600 Manager > NE MAC Address Query.
• Right–click a Network Element object within the Network or Physical
containment views, then choose NE MAC Address Query.
