A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Node Groups of IPv4 or IPv6 Addresses

Use the Node Group form's Additional Filters editor to create Node Groups based on the following criteria (Specify Node Group Additional Filters):

All nodes that have only IPv4 addresses
[click here for details of this filter.]

Both of the following example Node Group's Additional Filters provide the same results. The first example uses IPv4 address notation. The second example uses IPv6 address notation:

((hostedIPAddress between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255) AND NOT (hostedIPAddress not between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255))

or (NNMi Advanced)

((hostedIPAddress between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255) AND NOT (hostedIPAddress not between ::ffff:0:0 AND ::ffff:ffff:ffff))
All nodes that have any IPv4 addresses (could also have IPv6)
[click here for details of this filter.]

The following example Node Group's Additional Filter finds any node that has at least one IPv4 address:

(hostedIPAddress between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255)
(NNMi Advanced) All nodes that have only IPv6 addresses
[click here for details of this filter.]

IPv6 addresses extend the number of possible IP addresses. The old IPv4 address range falls within the new IPv6 range. Valid IPv6 address values can be less than or greater than the old IPv4 range of addresses. NNMi Advanced converts the IPv4 addresses to the new IPv6 notation, then stores and filters the IPv4 addresses as IPv6 addresses (::ffff:a.b.c.d).

Both of the following example Node Group's Additional Filters provide the same results. The first example uses IPv4 address notation. The second example uses IPv6 address notation:

((hostedIPAddress not between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255) AND NOT (hostedIPAddress between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255))

or

((hostedIPAddress not between ::ffff:0:0 AND ::ffff:ffff:ffff) AND NOT (hostedIPAddress between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255))
(NNMi Advanced) All nodes that have any IPv6 addresses (could also have IPv4)
[click here for details of this filter.]

The following example Node Group's Additional Filter finds any node that has at least one IPv6 address:

((hostedIPAddress between ::0 AND ::fffe:ffff:ffff) OR (hostedIPAddress ::1:0:0:0 AND ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff))
(NNMi Advanced) All nodes that have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (also known as dual-stack nodes)
[click here for details of this filter.]

The following example Node Group's Additional Filter finds any node that has at least one IPv4 address and at least one IPv6 address:

((hostedIPAddress between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255) AND (hostedIPAddress not between 0.0.0.0 AND 255.255.255.255))

Note To maximize the performance of Additional Filters based on an IP Address range, avoid multiple filter expressions. For example, use the between operator instead of the greater than or equal to (>=) and less than or equal to (<=) operators that cause NNMi to use multiple queries for finding all addresses that match the filter.
