Maybe you can
get your network administrators to implement separate read only and
read/write access lists on the routers and not include NetView on the read/write
list. Then it doesn't make any difference what you do with
NetView.

As a 'best
practice' tip in this subject, I make it a practice to code the defualt 'set'
community in Netview (in the xnmsnmpconf dialog) to something bad like
'badCommunity'. This is to prevent all users of the Motif interface from
having access without knowing the community.
If someone tries to use the mib browser to do a set,
and the default configured in Netview is valid, then the set will work.
If you don't code a default 'set' community in xnmsnmpconf, it tries the
read community. Sometimes that is correct. I code it to something else just to
be sure.
Cordially,

You can do it as an operator, but NetView, that is,
netmon does not do it by itself. Let's get clear about that.
And as I indicated, there
are several ways that a smart Cisco administrator can disable this function
altogether, and should.

Jean-Michel,
Yes, you can do
it by SNMP.
Just verify that the SNMP agent on the device you want to
change the hostname is configured correctly to allow Netview to change the
Hostname (sysName).
The SNMP variable that holds the hostname is
mib-2.system.sysName.0 .
The SNMP Agent must have configured a RW community
(and allow the Netview IP to access the agent).
Netview must use this
community name to issue a set request on the MIB variable of the
device.

[nv-l] hostname changed
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.
