Hey,
So I'm struggling a bit with finding the correct AP sometimes, when the name might be unavailable to me, but I have the wired ethernet mac address.
In inventory I can search by mac, but thats the radio mac - what gives?
I think its quite inconsistent, since when I assign an AP to a map/floor, then its the ethernet one being presented, and on the labels/QR codes these days its also the ethernet one.
So if I know that some AP (we have 3k) exists 'somewhere' in DNA Center, and its in the wrong floor/building etc and have a typo in its name - without looking in the controller - can I track it down using only the ethernet mac address in DNA Center?

If you take the ethernet mac address and go to Assurance, Health and use the search there, you can find the AP.

Hmm right, so if the telemetry works for the AP, I should be able to search for it in the... network/Network Devices dashboard?
From the looks I can't search by mac - I'm on 2.3.5.3 BTW, and the AP isn't showing up, so I guess then telemetry is broken.. I'll try again once that's fixed.
