Class Device

java.lang.Object
  com.adventnet.management.config.xml.BaseElement
      com.adventnet.management.config.xml.Device

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

CorbaDevice, FTPDevice, SnmpDevice, TelnetDevice

public class Device
extends BaseElement

This class holds all device specific information for configuring a device. The device name can be either DNS name or IPAddress of the device.

In order to keep the Web NMS in sync with the Network Elements, ManagedObject Name (MOName) can also be specified for updation. The ManagedObject (MO) will be updated only if the configuration for a particular device gets succeeded. Here MOName can also differ from the actual device name. By default, MOName will be same as the Device name. If the Attribute to be configured also contains the MOName, then this MOName will be taken for updating the MO, even if MOName is specified in the Device. That is, priority will be given to the MOName specified in the Attribute.

Name of the MO can be specified by using either of the following methods

setMOName("<Name of the MO>");

(or)

Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("MOName", "<Name of the MO>");
setProperties(prop);
