System Tab

The System tab displays the overall system information for the applicable hemisphere of the SFS 7024. This information includes the following items:

Out of Band LAN IP

The IP address for the applicable hemisphere of the switch. Note that changes to this field only take effect after a switch power cycle (i.e., shutting the switch and powering it back up). The IP address of the switch can be changed by the administrator.

Netmask

The current net mask settings for the Chassis. Note that changes to this field only take effect after a chassis power cycle (i.e., shutting down the chassis and powering it back up). The net mask of the chassis can be changed by the administrator.

System Description

A textual description of the system, which can be assigned by the administrator.

IB Node Description

Assigned by the administrator, the IB node description is an IB fabric-applicable name that will be displayed within a subnet manager GUI. Note that changes to this field will only take effect after a the chassis is rebooted. To reset this field to the default setting, click the Field Default button.

Note If the IB Node Description field has been changed since the last reboot of either spine, the next reboot will be treated as disruptive.

System Uptime

The elapsed time since the last time the applicable hemisphere was re-initialized.

System Contact

The textual identification of the contact person and their contact information for this system, assigned by the administrator.
