System variables can be changed. Below is a list of system variables which GE
recommends changing.
•System Name: Using a unique name helps you to identify individual devices in a
network.
•System Contact and System Information: This is helpful for identifying the
administrator responsible for the switch and for identifying the locations of
individual switches.
To set these variables, change the mode to be SNMP configuration mode from the
manager mode using the following syntax
snmp
setvar [sysname|syscontact|syslocation] =<string>
The following command sequence sets the system name, system location and system
contact information.
ML1200# snmp
ML1200(snmp)## setvar ?

location
Usage: setvar
[sysname|syscontact|syslocation]=<string>
