Interface Access and System Information

System Information

Configure a System Name, Contact, and Location for the Switch. To

help distinguish one switch from another, configure a plain-language identity for the switch.

Syntax: hostname < name-string>

snmp-server [contact <system-contact>] [location <system-location>]

Each field allows up to 255 characters.

For example, to name the switch “Blue” with “Ext-4474” as the system contact, and “North-Data-Room” as the location:

ProCurve(config)# hostname Blue

Blue(config)# snmp-server contact Ext-4474 location North-Data-Room Blue(config)# show system information
