1. Query Operations

   

    

   •  All search operations in NetDB are performed from the Query System page, accessible via the left-hand main menu
   • You can search for networks, individual IPs and/or host records via a number of parameters
   • Results are returned in static or editable contexts based on your search parameters
      
2. Query by IP

   
    

   • The 'Query by IP' search box returns either host, NCG, network or network DNS information based on the supplied IP address
   • The IP must be entered in standard dotted quad  
     • Slash notation is prohibitted (a single IP search will return the network it belongs to)
   • The radio buttons (required) return the following information:
     • Network Contact Group brings you straight to the NCG page of the IPs NCG (NOT the associated forward host's NCG)
     • Host Detail returns non-editable info on the host record referenced by the IPs reverse lookup. If the IP supplied is a network base address, returns DNS info for the subnet.
     • Network Detail returns non-editable info on the network which the IP belongs to
     • XML brings you to the XML interface with a pre-populated query for the supplied IP in the 'XML in' box. You must press submit to complete the XML query
     • Edit Host brings up the 'edit host' GUI for the host record referenced by the IPs reverse lookup (not the reverse record itself)
     • Network DNS Detail returns a list of all host records (forward and reverse) associated with the network that the IP belongs to
