3.11 MODIFYING MIB VARIABLES

Specific instructions for controlling FN10 operations, modifying
parameters, and so on, depend on the NMS you are using. This manual
provides instructions for using LCM commands. However, LCM
commands do not exist for all configuration options. You may need to
modify your configuration using an NMS.
This section provides several common MIB variables you may want to
change. Refer to the Fast Network 10 MIB Reference Guide for a
complete listing and description of MIB variables.
Each variable is first described in words, and is then identified in MIB
form, for example,
line shows the range of values that can be used for the given parameter. In
each case, the DisplayString is a string of ASCII characters.

3.11.1 System Contact

The system contact parameter identifies the contact person who is
responsible for operating the FastNET 10. Typically, this parameter
includes the person's name, company or division name, and telephone
number.
sysContact - {system 4}
DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))

3.11.2 System Name

The system name is a name assigned to the FN10 by the network
administrator. By convention, the system name is the fully qualified
domain name. (This name then becomes the LCM prompt.)
sysName - {system 5}
DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))

3.11.3 System Location

The system location identifies the physical location of the FN10.
sysLocation - {system 6}
DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
