Try this to get the snmpSysname then make a /etc/hosts file of the results. It expects an input file of IP address/community name pairs. 

#!/bin/ksh
##########################################################
# Read and parse the file
##########################################################
set +x
InputFile=$1
while read IPAddress CommunityName 
do
   Keyword=`echo "${IPAddress}"|awk '{print substr($0,1,1)}`
  echo "IP Address is" ${IPAddress} "Community Name is" ${CommunityName}
   OID=""
   if [ "${Keyword}" != "#" ] -a [ -n ${IPAddress} ] 
     then Hostname=`/usr/OV/bin/snmpwalk -t 1 ${IPAddress} system.sysName`
#    echo "${Hostname}"
     if [ -z "${Hostname}" ]
       then echo "# ${IPAddress} No data from snmpwalk" >>GetSysName.out
       else echo ${IPAddress} ${Hostname}  >>GetSysName.out
      fi
    fi
done <${InputFile}

I don't know of any way to use the name configured in the snmp agent of the
device as an hostname in Netview, however if you set up some name
resolution (both way), you will be able to have the name you want as the
selection name of the objects in Netview and the same hostname in the
events you forward from Netview to TEC.

Hi lists,

Usually, for NetView, the hostname of the network device, router or switch,
is the IP address from which it is discovered. And this IP address is the
one that shows up at the TEC Console Hostname column.

How can I configure, if that is even possible, NetView (or TEC ??) for the
real name of the device to show up at the Hostname column at the TEC
Console ??

Normally we have a router hostname at
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.local.lmem.hostName or
lsystem.hostName.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Mario Behring
