The Filter Pane

Use the Filter pane to limit the endpoints you want to view in the Endpoints pane. Choose a combination of switch, VLAN and NIC Manufacturer to select the devices you want to view.

The Switches section lists each switch by name, and shows the number of endpoints attached to that switch.

The VLANs section lists all VLANs and the number of endpoints on each.

The NIC Manufacturers section lists all unique NIC Manufacturers connected to devices.

The right column of the Filter Pane shows a count of endpoints present for each of the criteria. See Understanding Endpoint Counts{} for more information.

Use these methods to control the filter criteria:

Understanding Endpoint Counts

The right column of the Filter pane shows the number of Endpoint devices (specifically, the number of distinct MAC addresses) for each of the filter criteria.

When you select the Show All Ports box, the Endpoints pane also shows:

Using the Filter Box

Use the Filter box, located at the top of the Device Filter pane, to limit the devices you see in the Endpoints pane.
