Configure Friendly Names for Gateways
By default, VMM provides an IP address (when available) for each gateway. To make it easier to
identify gateways, you can assign an alias (a "friendly" name) for each gateway. When assigned,
the alias for a gateway will be displayed in the Label column on the System pane.
You can assign aliases on
a per-server basis
If you configure aliases on a per-server basis, the aliases will be displayed on all VMM
clients that access that VMM server.
a per-client basis
If you configure aliases on a per-client basis, each VMM client will use its own aliases for
the gateways. Even though each VMM client will view the same gateways, each VMM
client will have its own alias for each gateway.
both a per-server basis and a per-client basis
If you configure aliases on both a per-server basis and a per-client basis, the VMM client
will use the alias from the VMM server if that VMM client does not have an alias specified
for the gateway. If both the VMM server and the VMM client have specified an alias for
the same gateway, VMM client will use its alias. In this configuration, the alias specified in
the VMM client will always take precedence over the alias specified in the VMM server.
To configure aliases for gateways, you must create a gateway alias configuration file and assign
an alias to the IP address of each gateway you want. In the configuration file, you define an alias
for a gateway by entering the IP address of the gateway, followed by the alias you want to use.
Be sure to enter one IP address and alias per line in this file.
For example, suppose you have gateways at IP addresses 192.168.33.50, 192.168.37.89, and
192.168.56.22, and you want to assign an alias to each gateway. In the gateway alias
configuration file, you would enter the following information:
192.168.33.50 Bob
192.168.37.89 Alice
192.168.56.22 Jane
One you create and save the gateway alias configuration file, you must specify the name of this
file as the value of the FriendlyPath attribute in the server and/or client initialization files. By
default, in both the VMM server initialization file and the VMM client initialization file, the
FriendlyPath attribute is set to FriendlyLabelsServer.ini
(FriendlyPath=FriendlyLabelsServer.ini).
VMM server uses the initialization file VoIPMonMgrServer.ini. VMM client uses the initialization
file VoIPMonMgrClient.ini. These initialization files are located in the VMM installation directory.
NOTE:
The gateway alias configuration file must be located in the same folder as the VMM initialization
file (that is, VoIPMonMgrServer.ini or VoIPMonMgrClient.ini).
