Configuring System and Banner Information
In this example, an administrator configures the following system
information:
• System name: PCM6348
• System contact: Jane Doe
• System location: RTP100
• Asset tag: 006429
The administrator then configures the MOTD banner to alert other switch
administrators of an upcoming event.
To configure the switch:
1 Configure the hosts name.
console#configure
console(config)#hostname PCM6348
2 Configure the contact, location, and asset tag. Notice that the prompt
changed to the host name.
PCM6348(config)#snmp-server contact "Jane Doe"
PCM6348(config)#snmp-server location RTP100
PCM6348(config)#asset-tag 006429
3 Configure the message that displays when a user connects to the switch.
PCM6348(config)#banner motd "This switch connects
users in cubicles C121-C139."
PCM6348(config)#exit
