Query

This function helps you query the users, devices, and interfaces in the system.

Functions

You can only query for information about the users, devices, and interfaces that you have the right to manage.
The query operation supports asterisks (*) and question marks (?) as wildcards. The asterisk represents any collection of characters, and the question mark represents one single character.
If no wildcard is specified, the system automatically adds asterisks to both ends and queries for matches containing the string that you enter as a criteria.This rule does not apply to general search.
If wildcards are included, only the wildcards in the criteria provide wildcard matching.
To query for exact matches of the asterisk or question mark, type a \ before the character. For example, type \* to match the "*" character.
The query criteria are case insensitive.
To query for a device by IP address, the system looks up all the IP addresses. The devices with the matched IP address are displayed.
MAC address separators can be hyphens (-) or colons (:). However, the system stores MAC addresses with colons as the separators, and use the following guidelines to convert MAC addresses:
1) Converts MAC addresses in ABCDE format to *AB:CD:E* for query.
2) Converts MAC addresses in A:B:C format to *A:B:C* for query.
3) Converts MAC addresses in ABC-CDE format to *AB:C:CD:E* for query.
