8.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the System Info, General Setup,
Switch Setup, IP Setup and Port Setup screens.
The System Info screen displays general Switch information (such as firmware version number). The General Setup screen allows you to configure general Switch identification information. The General Setup screen also allows you to set the system time manually or get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your Switch. The real time is then displayed in the Switch logs. The Switch Setup screen allows you to set up and configure global Switch features. The IP Setup screen allows you to configure a Switch IP address in each routing domain, subnet mask(s) and DNS (domain name server) for management purposes.
