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 and boolean operators are not allowed. The use of quotes will be interpreted as part of the search string. For example searching for Nodes named "foo", will mean you want to find all nodes whose names are "foo", including the quotes.

  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 Formats
    • case insensitive
    • dots are regarded as separator between name and Domain name
    • if no Domain specified, search in all Domains
    • the following wildcards are allowed: *, ?, %, _,
      • * and % are multi-character wildcards
      • _ and ? are single character wildcards

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

  5. IP Address Input Formats
    • 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

  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
    • Allowable formats:
      • 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

The first column of quicksearch results is the name of the record or the IP address. The next columns are possible actions- Mod (Modify), Tmpl (Use as Template), and Del (Delete). For Networks, the first address space is also displayed. Node results also have the following features:

  • 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
  • If searching by name, results are sorted by name. If name is an alias, node name is listed instead of IP address.
  • If searching by hardware address, since wildcards are not allowed, a single match is returned with name.
