Perform this procedure to configure the switch name, description, location, and contact person for
the HAFM application. The information is displayed in multiple dialog boxes throughout the
application. In addition, the Name, Location, and Contact variables configured at the

sysLocation, and sysContact. These variables are used by SNMP management workstations
when obtaining data from managed switches.
