General

Quicksearch allows search on record name, IP address and hardware addresses. Quicksearch can be accessed from the NetDB home page, record information pages and Quicksearch results pages.

Input

The following inputs and formats are recognized in quicksearch. Multiple search parameters or boolean operators are not allowed.

  1. Record Types (selected from dropdown menu)

  2. Name Types
    • Node Name
    • IP Address Name
    • Interface Name
    • IPC IP Address Name
    • Dynamic DHCP address Name
    • Alias
    • MX
    • Network Name
    • Group Name
    • Admin Team Name
    • User Name
    • Domain Name

  3. Name Input Forms
    • search is case insensitive
    • dots are regarded as separator between name and Domain name
    • if no Domain is specified, search in all Domains
    • the following wildcards are allowed: *, ?, %, _, [ ], [^]
    • * and % are multi-character wildcards
    • _ and ? are single character wildcards
    • [ ] indicates a range of characters
    • [^] indicates NOT in a range of characters

  4. IP Address Types
    • Node Interface IP Addresses
    • IPC IP Address
    • Dynamic DHCP IP Address
    • Address Space

  5. IP Address Input Forms
    • Must be in form x.y.y.y where x is a number from 0-255. y is a number from
    • 0-255 or a wildcard. i.e., wildcards are allowed but first octet must be fully
    • defined (e.g., 36 or 171). If y is a wildcard, subsequent octets do not need
    • to be listed- e.g., "36.6.*" is a valid search string
    • the following wildcards are allowed: *, ?, %, _, [ ], [^]
    • * and % are multi-character wildcards
    • _ and ? are single character wildcards
    • [ ] indicates a range of characters
    • [^] indicates NOT in a range of characters

  6. Hardware Address Types
    • Interface Hardware Addresses

  7. Hardware Address Input Forms
    • No wildcards allowed
    • Digits should be hexadecimal- 0-9, a-f or A-F
    • Input must follow one of these forms to be recognized as hw address
    • 01-23-45-07-89-0b or 1-23-45-7-89-b (leading zeros are optional)
    • 01:23:45:07:89:0b or 1:23:45:7:89:b (leading zeros are optional)
    • 0123.4507.890b
    • 012345:07890b
    • 01234507890b:

Output

Quicksearch results are listed with minimal additional information. The first column is the name of the record, except in the case of Node (see below for details). The next set of columns are the possible actions- Mod (Modify), Tmpl (Use as Template), and Del (Delete). For Networks, the first address space is also listed.

    Node Display
  • Node entries are sorted by type. A Node with multiple types will be listed under each associated type.
  • If searching by IP address, results are sorted by IP address with possible actions and Node names listed.
  • If searching by name, results are sorted by name with possible actions and IP addresses listed. If name is an alias, node name is listed instead of IP address.
  • If searching by hardware address, since wildcards are not allowed, the single match is returned with name, possible actions and IP address listed.
