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>]

Note that no blank spaces are allowed in the variables for these commands.

For example, to name the switch “Blue” with “Ext-3002” as the system contact, and “North-Data-Room” as the location:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# hostname Blue

Blue(config)# snmp-server contact Ext-3002 location North-Data-Room
