Description
Customer is doing an SNMP walk for the SDX device and receives the hostname as the sysname. The issue is observed with 3 of the 4 SDX devices present in the environment. Following is the output:
$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c test-sdx-device
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: FreeBSD nssdx-mgmt 8.4-NETSCALER-10.5 FreeBSD 8.4-NETSCALER-10.5 #0: Tue Sep 30 06:30:37 PDT 2014 root@sjcdbldbsd8405.eng.citrite.net:/usr/obj/usr/home/build/rs_105_52_8/usr.src/sys/NSSVM amd64
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.5951.6
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (2306724915) 266 days, 23:34:09.15
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: citrix
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: nssdx-mgmt
Instructions
In later version of 11.0 the SVM has the option to change the sysname under the SNMP mib settings. However in the 10.5 versions there is neither a CLI command or a GUI option.The sysname is actually extracted from the snmpd.conf under etc folder of the SVM shell prompt. The following line needs to added in the snmp.conf file and SVM needs to be restarted for the changes to reflect.
sysname test-sdx-device
Note: Copy the file snmpd.conf to /mpsconfig, and make changes to /mpsconfig/snmpd.conf
# Changes in /etc/snmpd.conf will be lost following a reboot.
