Device Name and IP Address Display
Many WLSE displays include a field for the device name. The data displayed in
this field differs depending upon the following:
•If reverse DNS lookup is enabled on the WLSE, the device name is displayed
in this field if the lookup succeeds. If the lookup fails, the device IP address
is displayed.
•If you do not enable reverse DNS lookup and device’s sysName is set, the
sysName SNMP variable is displayed. If sysName is not set, the device IP
address is displayed.
In some displays there are separate fields for device name, sysName, and IP
address.
To enable DNS lookup on the WLSE, select Administration > Discover >
DISCOVER > Discovery Options and select Use reverse DNS lookup. For more
information, see Enable Discovery Options, page 6-18.
Time Display
The WLSE uses browser (client) time in most of its displays. The format of
timestamps depends on the browser you are using:
•In Internet Explorer, the timestamp usually consists of the browser time
(hours:minutes:seconds) and date; for example:
14:17:16 10/12/2002
In some displays the timestamp is the day of the week, month and day,
browser time, timezone, and year; for example:
Sat Oct 12 11:15:01 PDT 2002
•In Netscape Navigator, the timestamp usually consists of the browser time
(hours:minutes:seconds) and date; for example:
14:17:16 10/12/2002
In some displays the timestamp is the day of the week, time, offset from
GMT/UTC, timezone, and year; for example:
Mon Mar 25 13:29:21 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) 2002
