Applying Changes to
Devices Using the
Properties Dialog Box
This section describes how you can apply changes to items with the
Properties dialog box.
Changing the Custom Name
3Com Network Director allows you to change the custom name of any
item on the network map.
To change the custom name of an item on the map:
■
Click on the icon for the node in the 3Com Network Director map to
select it.
■
Select the Device > Properties menu option to launch the Properties
dialog box.
■
In the General tab, enter the label you want to use in the Custom
Name field.
■
Click OK to validate your changes.
To show the custom name of the items on your network, select the View
> Labels > Custom Name menu option.
Changing the Custom Name only changes the label that 3Com Network
Director uses for the network map – if you are changing the label for a
device then 3Com Network Director makes no changes to the device
itself.
Changing the Comments
3Com Network Director allows you to specify comments for any item on
the network, including the units, ports and interfaces on a node.
To specify comments:
1 Click on the icon for the item in the 3Com Network Director map to
select it.
2 Select the Device > Properties menu option to launch the Properties
dialog box.
3 To specify a comment for any item type other than a unit, port or
interface, type in your comment in the
Comments section of the General
tab. If you want to enter comments for a unit, port or interface, select
that item in the tree on the left-hand side of the dialog box, then type in
your comment in the
Comments section of the General tab for that item.
