Hi Don,

Can U please be little clear on this, I could enter the Interface IP
addresses in /etc/hosts file locally ( Infact I had done it earlier but
could not work on that more that time. I tried demand poll after I did the
same which did not helped me) How will the interface pickup the Name from
hosts file then, please advice.

Regards,
Santosh

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
