mechanism is able "to flexibly accommodate a variety of changing
information." (Col. 11, ll. 24-26.)
3. McCormack teaches that an inventory polling process periodically
polls the network, receives information about the network device, and
stores values derived from that information in the database. (Col. 11,
ll. 4-8.)
4. McCormack provides an example where two values (i.e., 7300 and
7500) of a "Device Type" are selected by a user from the filter dialog.
(Col. 12, ll. 7-8.) "[T]he filter mechanism 126 interprets the user's
selection as requesting information about all network devices that are
7300 or 7500 type devices." (Col. 12, ll. 8-11.) McCormack then
provides a second example where the same two "Device Type" values
(i.e., 7300 and 7500) are selected, and, in addition, two values (i.e.,
10.3 and 11.1) of an input/output system version ("IOS Version") also
are selected. (Col. 12, ll. 11-13.) "[T]he filter mechanism 126
interprets the selections as requesting information about devices that
are type 7300 or 7500 and that run IOS software version 10.3 or
version 11.1." (Col. 12, ll. 13-16.)
