Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth

Global Search in NIOS (top-right search bar) offers Basic and Advanced modes:

Basic Mode Filters: Allows quick searches across Grid objects using:

DNS Name: Search by FQDN (e.g., "host.example.com"). Correct.

IP Address: Search by IPv4/IPv6 (e.g., "192.168.1.10"). Correct.

Record Type: Filter by DNS types (e.g., A, CNAME). Correct.

MAC Address: Available in Advanced mode (Data Management > Global Search > Advanced), not

Basic mode, which focuses on DNS/IP basics. Incorrect here.

Usage: Enter a term (e.g., "example.com"), select a filter, and view results (e.g., all A records).

Practical Example: In an INE lab, you’d use Basic mode to find all A records for "lab.com,"

troubleshoot DNS issues, and switch to Advanced for MAC searches.
