# Management

Device>Configure>Management

Device management involves displaying and changing information regarding the device itself, for example, information about its physical location and description, information regarding its IP configuration, and device access information.

The CiscoView Configure Device Management window displays the following MIB information:

Device Name (sysName)

Specifies the device domain name. The name can have a maximum of 255 characters.

Contact (sysContact)

Name of the network administration manager and information on how to contact this person. The contact name can contain up to 255 characters.

Location (sysLocation)

Physical location of the device. The location description can have a maximum of 255 characters.

IP Address (sysIpAddr)

IP address of the displayed device.

Network Mask (sysNetMask)

Network mask for the displayed device.

Broadcast Address (sysBroadcast)

Broadcast address for the displayed device.

IP VLAN Association (sysIpVlan)

VLAN association for this entry's IP address.

Network Management (sysMgmtType)

Version of SNMP being used on the device.

ARP Table Age (sysArpAgingTime)

Aging time for the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table.

RMON (sysEnableRmon)

Whether remote monitoring occurs on this device. If the field is enabled, remote monitoring occurs.

Read Only (sysCommunityRo)

Read community string or password for accessing the device. You need to enter the Read community string before you can display a device representation or display any information about the device.

Community string names must be alphanumeric, with a maximum of 20 characters, and cannot contain the "at" sign (@).

Note: To read or edit Read Only, open the device with the Read/Write All community string as the Read Community string.

To change a community string:

1. Identify the Read/Write All community string.

2. Open User Preferences and select the Community tab.

3. Select the device from the drop down list.

4. Enter the Read/Write All community string for both Read Community and Write Community.

5. Click Apply and reopen the device.

Read Write (sysCommunityRw)

Community string that allows you to display and change device information.

Note: To read or edit Read Write, open the device with the Read/Write All community string as the Write Community string. See further instuctions on how to change a community sting.

Read Write All (sysCommunityRwa)

Read/Write All community string for the device. The Read/Write All community string is similar to the UNIX root password; that is, using this community string supersedes the Read and Read/Write community strings.

Note: To read or edit Read/Write All, open the device with the Read/Write All community string as the Write Community string. See further instuctions on how to change a community sting.

Config Change Time (sysConfigChangeTime)

Time (in hundredths of a second) since the configuration of the system was last changed.

CGMP (mcastEnableCgmp)

[This feature is not supported for the Cat6000.]

Displays whether Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) is enabled or disabled on this device. This feature requires software version 2.2 or later.

IGMP (mcastEnableIgmp)

[This feature is not supported for the Cat4000.]

Displays whether Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is enabled or disabled on this device. When the IGMP is enabled in conjunction with Cisco routers running GCMP, only the required ports will participate in IP multicast groups.

STP UplinkFast (stpxUplinkFastEnabled)

[This feature is not supported for the Cat6000.]

Displays whether STP UplinkFast is enabled on the device, as true or false.

STP UplinkFast Learning Rate (stpxUplinkStationLearningGenRate)

[This feature is not supported for the Cat6000.]

Maximum number of station-learning frames that this device will generate in each 100 millisecond period after an UplinkFast transition. The default is 15.

RGMP (mcastEnableRgmp)

Indicates whether Router Group Management Protocol is enabled on the device or not. When RGMP is enabled in conjunction with Cisco routers running RGMP, multicast data traffic is forwarded only to those multicast routers that are interested to receive that data traffic. IGMP snooping feature must be enabled on the system to make RGMP feature operational. This object is only supported on platforms that support RGMP feature.

Displayed for the Cat5000, Cat5500, and Cat6000 series devices, version 5.4 or higher.

Enable ICMP Redirects (sysEnableRedirects)

Whether the system sends or receives ICMP redirect messages. The possible values are enabled or disabled; the default is disabled.

UDLDP Enable (cudldpGlobalEnable)

[This feature is not supported for the Cat6000.]

To enable/disable Uni Directional Link Detection Protocol on the device.

Note: This feature is supported only for software release 5.1 or later.

Maximum % RMON Memory Usage (0..100) (sysMaxRmonMemory)

Indicates the maximum percentage of RMON memory usage. This field is displayed on devices running Catalyst OS version 6.2 or later.
