Santosh,
NetView does NOT do this natively (like HP OpenView does). NetView uses only
the resolved name.
The workaround is to write a script that does an SNMPGET for the sysName and
writes it to /etc/hosts so that NetView can resolve to that insted of the
DNS name. You will need to modify /etc/netsvcs.conf so that local comes
before bind.

Hi, 

I had Netview 6.0.1 on AIX 4.3.3. 

How can the Router Interfaces pick up the System Description
"RouterName:I/FName" in place of IP address which comes by default.

It's very very urgent. 

Regards, 
Santosh
