Using the IP Address Context Menu

Right-clicking any IP address in a NetMRI list or table, such as in the Discovery page or a Devices list, pops up a context menu for quick access to more functions. The menu contains the following commands:

  • Device Viewer: opens the Device Viewer to the default Network Analysis –>Issues tab, which lists issues for the device.
  • Config Explorer: opens the Device Viewer to the Device Viewer –> Config Management –> Config Archive tab, which lists configuration files collected from the device.
  • View Running Config: opens a window to display the configuration currently running on the device.
  • Changes: opens the Device Viewer to the Device Viewer –> Network Analysis –> Changes tab, which lists detected changes to the device's configuration file.
  • Issue List: opens the Device Viewer to the Device Viewer –> Network Analysis –> Issues tab, which lists issues for the device.
  • Policy Compliance: opens the Device Viewer to the Device Viewer –> Network Analysis –> Policy Compliance (see Introducing Policy Compliance), which lists policies run against the device, and the outcomes of those policies.
  • Topology Viewer: submenu allows viewing of devices in the context of various topologies: L2 n Hop, L3 n Hop, L3 Path Viewer (most likely path) and L2/L3 Path Viewer (most likely path).
  • Schedule Job: opens the Edit Job dialog, for specifying a job to run on the current device (you can also include other devices and groups).
  • Execute Command: opens the Run Configuration Command Script dialog, where you can specify and submit a command to run on the device.
