Configuring the Switch from a Web Server
2. Configure the parameters as follows:
• Name — Up to 24 alphanumeric characters. Each 
switch/director should be configured with a unique name. 
This is necessary for directors on a LAN with DNS entries, and 
it also will help in future identification and maintenance tasks.
If the switch is installed on a public LAN, the name should 
reflect the switch’s Ethernet network DNS host name. For 
example, if the DNS host name is DS-32M21.emc.com, enter 
DS-32M21 in this dialog box.
• Description — Up to 255 alphanumeric characters.
• Location — Up to 255 alphanumeric characters.
• Contact person — Up to 255 alphanumeric characters.
