Using a custom name for SNMP device interfaces

This feature lets you rename SNMP device interfaces to help you manage network interfaces more efficiently and intuitively. Without this feature you must reference device interface names, on a router for example, by their default names. Often, the device interface names are not intuitive and it is difficult to determine the specific interface you are selecting when setting up an interface utilization monitor for performance monitors and active monitors. This feature also helps you easily select the interface you want to view in interface utilization logs and other applicable dashboard reports and split second graphs.
