To find multiple hosts that have the same MAC address, IP address, or host name but different host IDs (duplicate hosts):

1. In the System Configuration window, choose Options, and then Find.
   The Find dialog box appears.
   
2. Choose the Find duplicate hosts tab.
   

   Figure 9-4 Find duplicate hosts page

   

3. Select a combination of search conditions.
   The system will search for hosts with different host IDs that satisfy the conditions you select here. When you select multiple conditions, they are treated as AND conditions. If you include MAC address as a condition, neither UNIX clients nor clients with PPP connection will be searched. In the case of a UNIX client with version 08-10 or later, if MAC addresses are set to be acquired in the system configuration information, duplicate hosts can be searched.
   

   Match MAC address

   Searches for multiple hosts that have the same MAC address in the system configuration information.

   Match IP address

   Searches for multiple hosts that have the same IP address in the system configuration information.

   Match host name

   Searches for multiple hosts that have the same host name in the system configuration information.

   Match case

   Select this check box to distinguish upper-case from lower-case letters in the host names. Note that the Match case check box in the Find dialog box is ignored if you use Microsoft SQL Server as the relational database and selected Case-sensitive for the sort order for Microsoft SQL Server.

4. After specifying the search conditions, click the Find button.
   The system starts the search and displays the search results in the Duplicate Host Search Results list at the bottom of the dialog box. Any host whose date is not up-to-date is displayed in reverse video.
   By dragging the corner or border of the Find dialog box, you can change its size.
   
5. From the search results list, select a desired host and click the Jump button or double-click the desired host.
   The System Configuration window becomes active and displays the information about the host you selected.
