SNMP Information and Console Timeout
The System Configuration Menu screen shows various pieces of information about your switch, and allows you to set the System Name, System Location, and System Contact. These settings can be retrieved from the switch using SNMP requests, allowing these settings to be used for network management purposes. Each of these fields can contain up to 64 characters:
♦System Name: corresponds to the SNMP MIB II variable system.sysName, and is used to give a name to the switch for administrative purposes. The switch’s fully qualified domain name is often used, provided a name has been assigned.
♦System Location: corresponds to the SNMP MIB II variable system.sysLocation, and is used to indicate the physical location of the switch for administrative purposes.
♦System Contact: corresponds to the SNMP MIB II variable sysContact, and is used to give the name and contact information for the person responsible for administering the switch.
