Setting Optional System Information This section provides information on configuring optional system parameters, including: • the switch's administrative contact • a system name • the switch's physical location Specifying an Administrative Contact An administrative contact is the person or department in charge of the switch. If a contact is specified, users can easily find the appropriate network administrator if they have questions or comments about the switch. To specify an administrative contact, enter system contact, followed by a text string of up to 254 characters. If you include spaces between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string in quotes (""). For example: -> system contact "JSmith [email protected]" March 2005 Specifying a System Name The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for the switch. To specify a system name, enter system name, followed by a text description of up to 19 characters. Note. You cannot include spaces between words when entering a system name. For example: -> system name EngSwitch3 Specifying the Switch's Location It is recommended that you use a physical labeling system for locating and identifying your switch(es). Examples include placing a sticker or placard with a unique identifier (e.g., the switch's default IP address) on each chassis. However, if no labeling system has been implemented or if you need to determine a switch's location from a remote site, entering a system location can be very useful. To specify a system location, enter system location, followed by a text description of up to 254 characters. If you include spaces between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string in quotes (""). For example: -> system location "NMS Lab--NE Rack" Your First Login Session 37
