Figure 6- 2. Switch Information – Basic Settings
The Switch Information window shows the Switch’s MAC Address (assigned by the factory
and is unchangeable), IP configuration, some important functions implemented, and their
status. In addition, the Boot PROM, Firmware Version, and Hardware Version are present.
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.
The user may also enter a System Name, System Location, and System Contact to aid in
defining the Switch, to the user’s preference.
