How do I search for objects in the map layout?

Purpose

Use this procedure to search for an NE, router, region, or zone on the map layout.

Note: If using an IPv6 management IP address as filter criteria in the map layouts and groups view when manually defining the contents of a supervision group, the IP address must be a full exact match of the NE or port. Otherwise, the group will be empty. To work around this issue, use the auto-create groups feature, or when using manually defined filters, use parameters other than IPv6 management IPs.

Steps
 
1 

Open Map Layouts and Groups.

2 

Click png24.png Search.

3 

Select any of the available object types from the menu. For example:

  • Region name

  • Zone name

  • NE - by name, management IP, or system ID

  • Router - by name or router ID

4 

Type a search string in the text field. The list populates with near matches as you type.

The list displays a maximum of 50 results. If the item you are trying to find is not in the list, refine your search string to reduce the number of possible matches.

5 

Click on an entry in the list to go to the object’s location in the map layout.
