Setting Optional System

Information

This section provides information on configuring optional system parameters, including:

•the switch’s administrative contact

•a system name

•the switch’s physical location

Specifying an Administrative Contact

An administrative contact is the person or department in charge of the switch. If a contact is specified, users can easily find the appropriate network administrator if they have ques- tions or comments about the switch.

To specify an administrative contact, enter system contact, followed by a text string of up to 254 characters. If you include spaces between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string in quotes (“ ”).

For example:

-> system contact "JSmith X477 js@company.com"

Specifying a System Name

The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for the switch.

To specify a system name, enter system name, followed by a text description of up to 254 characters. If you include spaces between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string in quotes (“ ”).

For example:

-> system name "Engineering Switch 3"

Specifying the Switch’s Location

It is recommended that you use a physical labeling system for locating and identifying your switch(es). Examples include placing a sticker or placard with a unique identifier (e.g., the switch’s default IP address) on each chassis.

However, if no labeling system has been implemented or if you need to determine a switch’s location from a remote site, entering a system location can be very useful.

To specify a system location, enter system location, followed by a text description of up to 254 characters. If you include spaces between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string in quotes (“ ”).

For example:

-> system location "NMS Lab--NE Corner Rack"
