Searching for NEs

In this user interface, you can specify the search domain, such as the network segment and the IP address of the GNE, and search the information of NEs that reside in the search domain but are not added. By using the search NE function, you can also create NEs in batches on the Web LCT.

Navigation Path

In the NE List, click NE Search > NE Search.

In the NE List, click NE Search > Advanced Search.

NOTE:

Before searching for NEs, add the corresponding gateway NEs to the Web LCT. Otherwise, logging in to the searched NEs may fail.

Buttons

Button	Description
NMS Port User Port	If you click NMS Port, you will search out the NEs in the same network segment as the local IP address will be searched out. If you click User Port, NEs whose service ports are directly connected to the Web LCT will be searched out. It is generally used to search for OptiX RTN 310NEs.
Search NE IP auto discovery Search by user port	Search NE: This mode is used to search out all NEs in the specified network segment. IP auto discovery: This mode is used when you fail to enter the correct network segment. By IP auto discovery, you can obtain the IP addresses of the GNEs and search out all NEs that connect to the GNEs. This mode applies only to the GNEs that connect to the Web LCT directly. If they are not directly connected, the same IP address range must be used. Search by user port: This mode is used to search out NEs whose service ports are directly connected to the Web LCT. This mode is generally used to search for OptiX RTN 310 NEs.
