Address Finder
NOTE
Address Finder is not supported on Fabric OS products.
NOTE
Address Finder is only supported on Network OS products running 3.0 or later.
Address Finder locates where hosts are connected to your network from traffic on the network. The
list of interfaces provides information on the location of the source of the address, relative to each
network device, although the source may be directly or indirectly connected to the listed interfaces.
Address Finder uses the network topology information recorded during the discovery process
based on information from devices running Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP) and Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and from the topology_data.txt file.
