Search Tab
The [Search] main tab serves as a centralized investigation interface. In NetLD, it enables targeted device selection through dynamic filters (Search), full inventory access (All Devices), and predefined groups (Static List) when configuring network automation jobs.
The [Search] main tab contains three subtabs:
- [Interfaces] subtab
- [Switch Port Search] subtab
- [ARP Search] subtab
Interfaces Subtab
The [Interfaces] subtab allows you to quickly locate device interfaces with status, VLAN associations, and configuration details across your network infrastructure.
Doubleclicking a device in the [Inteface] subtab list will display the following information about that device at the bottom of the screen:
- General (information)
- Compliance
- Attachment
- Hardware
- Interfaces
- ARP/MAC/VLAN
- Memo

Switch Port Search Subtab
The [Switch Port Search] subtab pinpoints switch ports by MAC/IP addresses or hostnames to identify connected devices and trace network connections.
ARP Search Subtab
The [ARP Search] subtab resolves IP-MAC address mappings, and analyze ARP table relationships for troubleshooting connectivity issues. Results are based on ARP entries.
