These commands help ensure that the device can be identified and that inventory can be carried out.
For Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unity products, and other standard IP telephony OS voice
applications, the Windows SNMP Service must be enabled and configured with a read-only (RO) community
string.
SysName Variable
The system name (sysName) must be unique on every Cisco IOS device for network services to discover all Cisco
IOS devices on the network. Network services use this variable to identify each device through Cisco Discovery
Protocol. If this value is duplicated on any devices, network services discover only one of the devices. On Cisco
IOS Software, the domain name also affects the sysName.
To set the sysName variable on a Cisco IOS device, use the following global configuration command:
hostname <text>
Setting Up IP SLA on Cisco IOS Devices
Certain features within Operations Manager use the IP SLA (formerly known as SAA or Response Time
Responder [RTR]) functionality in Cisco routers and switches. If you intend to use these features (SRST
monitoring, phone status tests, and node-to-node tests), you will need to make sure that the IP SLA is enabled on
these devices. You will need to enable the IP SLA on all the routers and switches that will be used in SRST
monitoring or in node-to-node tests.
Typically, these are the edge routers in your branch networks and the default gateway for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. You can enable the IP SLA responder in the IP SLA router by running the following
command (depending on the Cisco IOS Software version) in the global configuration mode:
(config #) rtr responder OR ip sla responder
Use the show command to verify that the responder is running properly:
router#show rtr responder
Use the following show command to verify that the IP SLA feature is available in the Cisco IOS device:
router#show rtr application
router#show ip sla?
