How to Track a Device


The Track Device window lets you to track a device based on the device's serial number or MAC address. This allows you to view a history of device attributes, and monitor any changes made to the device. The Track Device information is based on the device's archived configuration files -- there will be one table entry for each saved configuration file.

  1. In the left-panel Network Elements tree, select a device and then select Tools > Track Device from the menu bar. The Track Device window opens and displays information for the selected device. If you have not performed an archive on that device, the table will be empty and you will see a message that says "No database entries found."
  2. After viewing the results, you can enter a new value and perform another track device operation. In the Track By field, use the drop-down list to specify whether you want to search for a device by serial number or MAC address.
  3. In the Value field, enter the serial number or MAC address, depending on what you selected in the Track By field.
  4. Click Track to start the track device operation and display the results. The new results will overwrite the results from the previous tracking operation.

Use the table options and tools to find, filter, sort, print, and export information in a table and customize table settings. You can access the Table Tools through a right-mouse click on a column heading or anywhere in the table body, or by clicking the Table Tools  button in the upper left corner of the table (if you have the row count column displayed).
