Using the Console Interface
SNMP Information and Console Timeout
The System Configuration Menu screen shows various pieces of information
about your switch, and allows you to set the System Name, System Location,
and System Contact. These settings can be retrieved from the switch using
SNMP requests, allowing these settings to be used for network management
purposes. Each of these fields can contain up to 64 characters:
♦
System Name: corresponds to the SNMP MIB II variable
system.sysName , and is used to give a name to the switch for
administrative purposes. The switch’s fully qualified domain name is
often used, provided a name has been assigned.
♦
System Location: corresponds to the SNMP MIB II variable
system.sysLocation , and is used to indicate the physical
location of the switch for administrative purposes.
♦
System Contact: corresponds to the SNMP MIB II variable
sysContact , and is used to give the name and contact information
for the person responsible for administering the switch.
