Well... I haven't tried filtering yet but what doesn't work is defining
a node name for the address. For example, node VN_a has the address
00-00-f8-64-b8-00 as its starting point. I entered the address with an
XX instead of the 00. The node was defined in the nodename file as 00.
I tried editing DWNODES.INI to replace the 00 with XX and then
restarted IRIS. The names were still not recognized.
Mitch, what do you think? Should this be working?
Thanks!
David

David,
Correct -- XX in defined names does not work. I'm not storing the
"ignore" digits in the node database file, and in the in-memory
structures that go with it...
If I do this, the number of nodes you can store in the database
will get much smaller (by about 25%) - is it worth it?

The new VNswitch modules work on that basis. You get a base hardware address and then it assigns individual addresses for each interface or VLAN on the module. I don't know what the current limit is but I'd say a 25% penalty, at least for me in my test environment, is not a big deal. What is the current limit? David | |||||

According to the sources, you can get 1024 names in the table - I
allocate about half of a 64K segment for it now. Each entry
is 22 bytes.
An additional 6 bytes will only cost 6K - doesn't sound too bad...
