The switch has several possible unique identifiers:
❑ A factory-designated MAC address
❑ An IP address that you assign, if you have TCP/IP
❑ A unique name that you assign for easy management
❑ An assigned DNS name in the software of the DNS server for
use with IP communication
Allied Telesyn recommends assigning unique names to switches to
avoid unwanted or accidental software downloads.
