Setting Optional Parameters
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, use the system contact command.
Specifying a System Name
The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for the switch.
To specify a system name, use the system name command.
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, use the system location command.
