3. Change the parameters as desired.

The parameters are described below:

System Name
This parameter specifies a name for the switch (for example, Sales
Ethernet switch). Entering a value for this parameter is optional.
The name can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters. Spaces are
allowed.

Note

You should assign each switch a name. The names can help you
identify the various switches in your network. This can help you
avoid performing a configuration procedure on the wrong switch.

Administrator
This parameter specifies the name of the network administrator
responsible for managing the switch. Entering a value for this
parameter is optional. The administrator’s name can be up to 30
alphanumeric characters. Spaces are allowed.

Comments
This parameter specifies additional information about the Fast
Ethernet switch, such as its location (e.g., Floor 4, Wiring closet
402B). Entering a value for this parameter is optional. Comments
can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters. Spaces are allowed.

Manager Password
Manager Confirm Password
These parameters are used to change the administrator’s login
password for the switch. To create a new password, enter the new
password into both fields.

The default password for Manager access is “friend”. A password
can be from 0 to 20 alphanumeric characters. Passwords are case-
sensitive.

Caution

You should not use spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*)
and exclamation points (!), in a password if you will be managing the
switch from a web browser. Many web browsers cannot handle
special characters in passwords.

Operator Password
Operator Confirm Password
These parameters are used to change the operator’s login
password for the switch. To create a new password, enter the new
password into both fields.
