What is nbDevIdSysName?
This object holds an administratively assigned name for the device, conventionally its fully-qualified domain name, mirroring the standard MIB-2 sysName object. Admins set this to give the device a recognizable hostname visible through this vendor-specific MIB as well as the standard one. For example, setting nbDevIdSysName to 'sw-core1.example.com' labels the device with its FQDN for easier identification in monitoring tools.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.1.50.16.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DEV-ID-MIB::nbDevIdSysName
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.1.50.16.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DEV-ID-MIB::nbDevIdSysName.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.629.1.50.16.2.1 s <value>
