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"

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 Group = "English"

VLAN Area - String

Search for VLAN Area = "campus".

VLAN Number - String

Example:
Search for Networks with VLAN number in the 300s
Search for VLAN Number = "3??".

Comment - String

Example:

Address Space - DHCP Options - Label

For a list of supported DHCP options, click on "Options List" link.

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.

Example:
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

Modified By is the last User to change this 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.

Example:

Search for "Modified By SUNet ID = jodoe or jadoe"
or "Modified By Name = Jane Doe or John Doe"

Modified Date - Date

  • Address Space Group = Libraries
  • Created Date On or After = 1-1-2001
  • Created by Name = * Doe

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:

  • Dynamic DHCP Address Name
  • Dynamic DHCP Address Status
