Feature Request: Search on Mac Prefix

[plazarch]

We have most of our servers using 2 nics in a failover situation, so if we do an ip search we find the active mac.  It would be great to be able to search on all but the last 2 digits of the mac address to be able to easily find the second nic.  For example a search on ip xx.xx.xx.xx shows me the port for the active nic.  Then take the first part of the returned mac address 00:00:00:ba:b8:22 and search for  00:00:00:ba:b8 to show me where the standby nic is plugged in.

Hey,

I'll see what I can do in version 1.9 to allow wildcard searches for mac addresses.  I already added searching by the last 4-digits, and I should be able to tweak that search to allow queries like this:

00:1c:3d:55:*
00:1c:1d:*
*:55:55:55

That should be fairly easy to do, and hopefully I can get v1.9 out in February or March.
