Chapter 1 Getting Started

Understanding the WLSE User Interface

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
