Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide - Manual (Page 31)

NOTE
For information about configuring IP addresses, DNS resolver, DHCP assist, and other IP-related
parameters, refer to "IP Configuration" chapter in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing
Configuration Guide
NOTE
For information about the Syslog buffer and messages, refer to
Basic system parameter configuration .
The procedures in this section describe how to configure the basic system parameters listed in Basic
Software Features on page 29.
Entering system administration information
You can configure a system name, contact, and location for a Brocade device and save the information
locally in the configuration file for future reference. This information is not required for system operation
but is suggested. When you configure a system name, the name replaces the default system name in
the CLI command prompt.
The name, contact, and location each can be up to 255 alphanumeric characters.
Here is an example of how to configure a system name, system contact, and location.
device(config)# hostname zappa
zappa(config)# snmp-server contact Support Services
zappa(config)# snmp-server location Centerville
zappa(config)# end
zappa# write memory
Syntax:hostname string
Syntax: snmp-server contact string
Syntax: snmp-server location string
The text strings can contain blanks. The SNMP text strings do not require quotation marks when they
contain blanks but the host name does.
NOTE
The chassis name command does not change the CLI prompt. Instead, the command assigns an
administrative ID to the device.
SNMP parameter configuration
Use the procedures in this section to perform the following configuration tasks:
• Specify a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap receiver.
• Specify a source address and community string for all traps sent by the device.
• Change the holddown time for SNMP traps
• Disable individual SNMP traps. (All traps are enabled by default.)
• Disable traps for CLI access that is authenticated by a local user account, a RADIUS server, or a
TACACS/TACACS+ server.
