System Management Information

This section explains how to assign a name, location, and contact information for the AT-GS950/8 switch. This information helps in identifying each specific AT-GS950/8 switch among other switches in the same local area network. Entering this information is optional.

Note

Allied Telesis recommends that you assign a name to the switch. Naming each switch can help you identify the specific switch you want to manage among others. It can also help to avoid performing a configuration procedure on the wrong switch.

1.From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System folder.

The System folder expands.

2.From the System folder, select Management.
