Network Device Filters

When you create a location group or a diagram of the devices on your network, you must identify the devices that belong to it by IP address or by the router they are connected to. Use the Network Filter dialog to specify the router, router, IP range or subnet mask that can be used to identify subsets of devices on your network.

To select devices by router:

1    Select the Router location option.

2    In the Router list, select the router that is connected to the devices you want to identify.

3    By default, the filter includes devices on all the router's ports. If you want to restrict the filter to devices on specific ports, enter their numbers in the Ports field.

4    Click OK to create the filter and close the dialog.

To select devices by their IP address:

1    Select the IP Range / Subnet option.

2    In the Range field, enter the IP addresses for the devices. You can specify a range in the form 90.0.0.128 - 90.0.0.255 or you can use a wildcard, such as 192.168.31.*.

3    Click OK to create the filter and close the dialog.
