G450/G430 Name Change 1

[demanding]

Is it possible to rename a G450 and G430 that is in production? If so, how? When it sends out "information" reports to our tracking software, management is not happy with what they see on the naming scheme as in some instances it does not indicate the location. Any help would be appreciated.

hostname
Use the hostname command to change the Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt. The prompt
is written as hostname-registration, where the hostname is the value entered with the
hostname command, and registration is the media gateway registration information. If the
device is registered, the current media gateway number appears. If the device is not registered,
question marks are displayed

although I reckon you may find

set system location
Use the set system location command to set the location information for this media
gateway system.

more use. This sets the standard SNMP location information which shoudl appear in your NMS

Do you know if a system (Solarwinds) is set to poll these gateways, why it does not see the name of the gateway?

 

[mattKnight]

Syntax
set system name [string]

Solarwinds doesn't read the hostname, but it will poll for the system name, system location and system contact

Is it possible to do all of the above on a G700? I am not seeing the same commands...

But that is the hostname and not the System name...is there a way to set the system name?
