FEATURE REQUEST (firmware): Liberal MAC table search format

Thu Feb 04, 2016 1:36 pm

FEATURE REQUEST: Mac Table liberal MAC formatting for Searches

Any chance of making the mac-table MAC search box be generous in MAC format? For example, accept ANY 12-hex-digit string, upper or lower case hex, using dashes, colons, dots, or NO separation characters at all? So one could search using:

00:aa:22:bb:cc:66
00:AA:22:BB:CC:66
00aa.22bb.cc66
00AA.22BB.CC66
00-aa-22-bb-cc-66
00 aa 22 bb cc 66


For comparisons of full or partial MACs it may pay to just strip the string of all punctuation characters and spaces first, normalize hex digit case, then compare. That's how I'd do it were I coding things.

Thanks!

Aaron out.
