NetView is completely passive to a device. In other words it simply
queries information from the device and nothing more. You could
use snmpsets to change some configurations, but that depends
on the type of device. While NetView does have the ability to do
snmpsets, it does not do it for ANY reason on its own(except MLM's)
and that only at the direction of a user.

Can Netview change a device's hostname on its own ? I don't mean in the
Netview database or on the map but on the device itself.
Network administrators believe Netview changes hostname in running config of
some Cisco devices. I am rather doubtful.
