https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-ignores-snmp-quot-systemname-quot/m-p/4141131#M31245 Hello,<BR /><BR />today I added all our printers to the HP SIM. After adding all the new system types, all printers are indenfied as Printer but most of these printers are added with theier IP as systemname. SNMP requests includes the systemname:<BR /><BR />.iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = ""<BR />.iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 = "DA00" Hex: 44 41 30 30 <BR />.iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0 = ""<BR /><BR />But SIM ignores it. Any idea why?
