Enterasys Networks 700 - Manual (Page 15)

Software Conventions 1-7
Introduction
Device Name
Displays the user-defined name of the device. The device name can be changed
via the System Group window; see the Generic SNMP User’s Guide for details.
IP Address
Displays the device’s IP (Internet Protocol) Address. This will be one of two
addresses:
• The Network IP address assigned to the MultiSwitch 700 chassis (if a
network-level IP address has been assigned to the module).
• The individual module IP address (if IP addresses have been assigned on a
per-module basis).
Both of these IP address are assigned via Local Management to the Host interface
of each module in the MultiSwitch 700 chassis. The IP addresses cannot be
changed remotely via NetSight Element Manager. Note that although each
interface on the MultiSwitch 700 module has its own MAC, or physical, address,
only a single IP address is assigned to the module or chassis as a whole.
Location
Displays the user-defined location of the device or chassis. The location is entered
through the System Group window; see the Generic SNMP User’s Guide for
details.
MAC Address
Displays the manufacturer-set MAC address associated with the network IP
address of the MultiSwitch 700 chassis, or the module IP address of the currently
monitored MultiSwitch 700 module. Note that MAC addresses are factory-set and
cannot be altered through management.
