Ya but.... What if you have specific interfaces with labels in the DNS? How
can you get the interface to pickup the Name and not the IP Address?

Santosh,
Placing an entry in /etc/hosts will cause NetView to update the selection name
when the node is demand (or configuration) polled.
When you demand poll the node after putting the sysname in /etc/host, you
should see "New name found ...." in the output window.
The label of the node will change to this new name. The label of the interface
itself will Always be the IP Address.
I have been told that the label change may not happen immediately, depending
how busy NetView is doing other things.
This entry in /etc/hosts will cause the SelectionName and thus the label to be
updated with "SuperXyzRouter".
/etc/hosts

Be certain that you have an /etc/netsvc.conf file and it is configured like
this:
/etc/netsvc.conf
hosts=local,bind4
(The number after bind is the version of bind that you are running.)
If you have not configured /etc/resolv.conf for a nameserver, the netsvs.conf
file is not needed.
This will cause the OS to check /etc/hosts before going to DNS.

Hi Don,
Can U please be little clear on this, I could enter the Interface IP addresses
in /etc/hosts file locally ( Infact I had done it earlier but could not work on
that more that time. I tried demand poll after I did the same which did not
helped me) How will the interface pickup the Name from hosts file then, please
advice.
Regards,
Santosh

Santosh,
NetView does NOT do this natively (like HP OpenView does). NetView uses only
the resolved name.
The workaround is to write a script that does an SNMPGET for the sysName and
writes it to /etc/hosts so that NetView can resolve to that insted of the DNS
name. You will need to modify /etc/netsvcs.conf so that local comes before
bind.

Hi,
I had Netview 6.0.1 on AIX 4.3.3.
How can the Router Interfaces pick up the System Description
"RouterName:I/FName" in place of IP address which comes by default.
It's very very urgent.
Regards,
Santosh
