Integrated MAC Address Lookup

I'd like to see the manufacturer information in UDT. I have a lot of different types of devices on my network and having the manufacturer linked to the MAC would be helpful for me. I often have to jump to a website and key in various MAC ID's to get an idea of what I'm dealing with (PC, switch, HVAC controller, NAS, etc).

Hi Jiri, Thanks for the answer. I still can't use OUI information. Here is why. I can't use the IP Address filter. Available options are MacPrefix, Company and EndPointCount. That's not enough. I need…

Could you please add more details about that inventory use case of this feature?
I'm really interested in how that compares to the (already available) OUI report.

Hi Jiri,
Thanks for the answer. I still can't use OUI information. Here is why.
- I can't use the IP Address filter. Available options are MacPrefix, Company and EndPointCount. That's not enough. I need to group and count them.
- I think the OUI database is poor (I am not sure though). We have total of 71000 device and 28.500 have unknown status. Where is the OUI db file? Can I change it the way I like or update it?
- OUI column should be available in the IPAM also. (IPAM & UDT integration) http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1366
- Also did you announce this OUI feature? I don't remember you did.

Hi,
Here are my comments:
1. Can you please describe the use case why and how you would want to filter acc. to IP address? We need to understand the requirement exactly.
2. Will take a look and post back.
3. OK
4. I'll update the What We Are Working On post soon. Or do you mean the OUI report?
Regards,
Jiri

1. Let's say our headquarters building has 10.45.0.0/16 subnet and we want to see how many konica minolta printers are in that building/subnet. Is it definitive enough?
