Re: [nv-l] Object names

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

No, you cannot configure that. The label
for a node will be the Selection Name value. That Selection Name will be
the name that the address it was discovered by resolves to. If that does
not resolve, it will be the IP Address it was discovered by. Labels that
are names are truncated at the first dot. 

If your site does not resolve all addresses
of a router to the same name, the best approach is to put the address whose
name you like best (eg the loopback name) in the seedfile, and delete and
rediscover the node by that address. It is important that the address resolve
both forward and backward.

There has been a lot of discussion of
name resolution and seedfiles on this list, and you can read them in the
archives at:

Subject	[nv-l] Object names

Hi list,

How do I configure NV to display the actual names of the objects,
hostnames for servers and routerSysName for routers for example ? Can I
choose which SNMP field will be used to display the object name at the
map
?

Thank you.

Mario
