Hostname-to-MAC Address Correlation and CDP/NDP Table Inclusion in Search

NetBrain's search function currently cannot locate a device by hostname when that hostname encodes a MAC address using a vendor naming convention, such as Cisco VoIP phone hostnames. The search also does not query CDP/NDP neighbor table data, so devices that are visible only as neighbors of managed switches cannot be found by hostname even though the network already reports the hostname-to-MAC relationship. This enhancement would extend search to normalize and correlate hostname patterns that embed a MAC address against the corresponding MAC record, and would allow search to include CDP/NDP neighbor table entries as a searchable data source. Customers working with unmanaged neighbor devices, such as VoIP phones, would be able to locate them directly by hostname without manually reformatting the search term, reducing repetitive effort during troubleshooting.
