Nodes Status

## Introduction

This is the Devices-Status counterpart for nodes. It gathers all related database information amongst some realtime scans and displays everything in one page.

## Usage

- You'd usually land here coming from other modules like Nodes-List. Alternatively you can enter/paste a MAC-address in any common format (grouped by - or . or : or nothing at all).
- If you need the MAC-address in a CLI window of a device, simply copy the appropriate format below the toolbar.
- View syslog events coming from this IP (if available).
- Get the status of the connecting device.
- Try to wake up a node (only shown, if not found in last discovery), if its MAC-address is still in the corresponding routers ARP-cache (a common aging time is 4h). This limitation is due to restrictions of directed broadcasts.
- Visible for users in the helpdesk group to mark this node as stolen.
- Allows administrators to delete the node.

Those to actions will be available, if the node was seen during the last discovery:

- Scans node for open ports.
- Try to discover as an SNMP device.
