Device Information

Figure 6- 1. Device Information screen

The Device Information

window

shows the Switch's MAC Address
(assigned by the factory and
unchangeable), the Boot PROM,
Firmware Version, and Hardware
Version
. This information is helpful to
keep track of PROM and firmware
updates and to obtain the Switch's
MAC address for entry into another
network device's address table, if
necessary. The user may also enter a
System Name, System Location and
System Contact to aid in defining the
Switch, to the user's preference. In
addition, this screen displays the status
of functions on the Switch to quickly
assess their current global status. Three
of these functions, Spanning Tree, Port
Mirror and Single IP Management have
a

Detail settings

link which when

clicked will automatically flip to the
configuration page for that feature. This
serves as a great quick reference for
network administrators to promptly
assess problems concerning Switch
functions.
