Configuring system information is optional, but recommended.

System Name: Using a unique name helps you to identify individual devices in stacking environments and where you are using an SNMP network manage- ment tool such as EliteView.

System Contact and Location: This information is helpful for identifying the person administratively responsible for the switch and for identifying the locations of individual switches.

MAC Age Interval: The number of seconds a MAC address the switch has learned remains in the switch’s address table before being aged out (deleted). Aging out occurs when there has been no traffic from the device belonging to that MAC address for the configured interval.

Time Zone: The number of minutes your time zone location is to the West (+) or East (-) of Coordinated Universal Time (formerly GMT). The default 0 means no time zone is configured.
