Dave, when you say 'identified', do
you mean in their Selection Name, or do you mean the label on graphical
representation of the interface?
If you are talking about the Selection
Name, that comes from the ifDescr mib variable. If they are snmp-capable,
it gets added. If you are talking about the label on the gui, that is an
all-or-nothing option for the map. On the top menu, pick Edit, modify/describe,map.
In that dialog, select the ipmap application. One of the settings in there
is for how the labels on interfaces will be displayed. Pick the one you
want, then ok all the way out.

If this does not cover it, ask again.....

Cordially,

Subject	[nv-l] Describe Interfaces

Hi All,
          Im currently running 7.1.4 FixPack2
on AIX 5.2...  During
discovery, all interfaces are identified with an IP address. How or what
do
I change so that they are identified as FastEthernet or Vlan, ect....
Also, how do I force netview to use /etc/host for name resolution?  Do
I
comment out  /etc/resolv.conf?

Thanks, Dave
