Figure 6-13. Switch Information screen

The Switch Information shows the operation mode of switch (Layer 3 or Layer 2), which (if any)
external modules are installed, and the switch’s MAC Address (assigned by the factory and
unchangeable). In addition, the Boot PROM and Firmware Version numbers are shown. 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.

You can also enter the name of the System, its location, and the name and telephone number of the
System Administrator. It is recommended that the person responsible for the maintenance of the
network system that this Layer 3 switch is installed on be listed here.
