  • I completely agree: I spent a long time wrangling with the policy rules trying to work out why the canned ones didn't work as expected and why my fresh ones wouldn't match anything at all. For what it's worth, I've taken to using RegExhibit on my Mac, and http://regexpal.com where RegExhibit wasn't an option. One thing…

  • My trial of NCM v6 wasn't populating the MACForwarding table. I deployed the licensed version after we purchased it, onto another server running in almost identical configuration, and now my MACForwarding table is being populated... No idea why, but I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the database after the new…

  • SolarWinds ought to chime in on this at some point, but if my understanding's correct: no, there's no current way to sort the node order. It's annoying, I'm just about getting used to it, and it seems to be completely inconsistent: depending on the report I run, I seem to get different node orders.. I've asked for it as a…

SELECT N.SysName MACHolder, I.InterfaceName, I.InterfaceAlias, MF.MAC, A.IPAddress, A.RDNSLookup, N1.SysName ARPHolderFROM Nodes NINNER JOIN Interfaces I on N.NodeID = I.NodeIDINNER JOIN BridgePorts BP on BP.NodeID = N.NodeID and BP.InterfaceIndex = I.InterfaceIndexINNER JOIN…
