Search Fields

Network Name - String

Search for Network name. If no Domain name is specified, the name is searched across all Domain names.

Example: 
    Find all Networks not in "stanford.edu"
    Search for Network Name = "not *.stanford.edu"
Network Location - String

Search for the location of a network.

Example: 
    Find all Networks that are off campus or part of administration.
    Search for Network Location = "Off Campus" or Admin*
Address Spaces - IP Address

Address spaces are IP address ranges associated with a Network.

Example: 
    Search for all Networks with a private address range (172.24, 172.25, 172.26, 172.27)
    Search for Address Spaces = "172.24.* or 172.25.* or 172.26.* or 172.27.*"
    Search for Address Spaces = "172.24/14" should also work, but doesn't - this is a known bug.
DHCP Service - String

For a list of services, click on "Service List" link.

Example: 
    Search for all Networks served by campus dhcp service
    Search for DHCP Service = "campus"

Example: 
    Search for Networks with an address space comment mentioning "special" and "blue"
    Search for address space comment = "*special*blue*".
Dynamic DHCP - Address - IP Address
Example: 
    Search for Network with dynamic dhcp addresses in the range 171.64.20.230 to 171.64.20.232
    Search for Dynamic DHCP Address = "171.64.20.230 - 171.64.20.232"
    or Dynamic DHCP Address = "171.64.20.230-232"
    or Dynamic DHCP Address = "171.64.20.230-2"
Dynamic DHCP - Address Name - String
Example: 
    Find Network with dynamic dhcp address name starting with "st"
    Search for Dynamic DHCP Address Name = "st*"
Dynamic DHCP - Address Status - Radio Button
Created By - String

Created By is the User who created a record. Search by either SUNet ID or full name. For best results, use the unique SUNet ID. Note that only one field can be used at a time.

    Find records created by either John Doe(jodoe) or Jane Doe(jadoe)
    Search for "Created By SUNet ID = jodoe or jadoe"
    or "Created By Name = Jane Doe or John Doe"
Created Date - Date

Created Date is the date that a record was created.

Example: 
    Search for records created on January 1, 2000.
    On or After = 1/1/2000
    Before = 1/2/2000
Modified By - String

Display

The Low Reserve and High Reserve fields are for display only.

Certain fields are associated with other fields. For example, IP address status is associated with a particular IP address. For a clear display, it is usually important to show the field and any fields it is associated with.


Fields that depend on Address Space:

  • Address Space DHCP Options
  • Address Space Group
  • Address Space Comment
  • Low Reserve
  • High Reserve

Fields that depend on Dynamic DHCP Address:
