Finding Cisco devices in the current view

Use this example query to find all Cisco devices in the current Hop View or Network View.

To formulate this query, select the chassis database table. This table contains properties of main node devices, such as switches and routers. Specify the className field from this table. Use the % wildcard character to indicate that the classname value must contain the letters "isco". The resulting query looks like this:

Table: chassis
Field: className
Comparator: like
Value: %isco%

This query finds devices with classnames such as the following:

  • Cisco26xx
  • Cisco36xx
  • Cisco72xx
  • CiscoCat35xx

Devices found by this query are highlighted in the network map using handles around the device.
