Re: [NV-L] Traps by hostname

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

It is all done with name resolution.
Traps from devices ( " A " in trapd.log) are labeled with the
DNS or /etc/hosts name for the address they come from. Netview events (
" N " in trapd.log) have the Selection Name of the device, which
is the DNS name for the address it was discovered by.

There is a lot of discussion of naming
in the archives, and you might do some reading there. There are different
approaches, such as forcing discovery by the loopback address of routers,
and ensuring that the loopback is in DNS. You can also configure the devices
to send their traps from the loopback, so they come in with a resolvable
name instead of the address of the nearest serial interface.

Cordially,
