Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API to retrieve information about MAC addresses. Specifically, the "Mac Addresses Show" operation fetches details for a single MAC address identified by its unique ID. This is useful in network management scenarios where you need to query or audit specific devices by their MAC addresses, for example, to verify device registration or check associated metadata.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the MAC address to retrieve. This is a required numeric value specifying which MAC address record to show.

Output

The output JSON contains the detailed information of the requested MAC address as returned by the AvantGuard DNSFilter API. It typically includes fields such as the MAC address itself, associated device information, and any metadata stored in the system. The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard DNSFilter service.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication token in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing Id: If the provided MAC address ID is invalid or missing, the API will likely return an error. Ensure the Id property is set correctly and corresponds to an existing MAC address.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is incorrect or expired, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the API key is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the DNSFilter API endpoint can cause request failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
