Configuring system information is optional, but recommended.
System Name: Using a unique name helps you to identify individual devices
in stacking environments and where you are using an SNMP network manage-
ment tool such as EliteView.
System Contact and Location: This information is helpful for identifying
the person administratively responsible for the switch and for identifying the
locations of individual switches.
MAC Age Interval: The number of seconds a MAC address the switch has
learned remains in the switch's address table before being aged out (deleted).
Aging out occurs when there has been no traffic from the device belonging to
that MAC address for the configured interval.
Time Zone: The number of minutes your time zone location is to the West (+)
or East (-) of Coordinated Universal Time (formerly GMT). The default 0
means no time zone is configured.
Daylight Time Rule: Specifies the daylight savings time rule to apply for your
location. The default is None. (For more on this topic, see appendix D,
"Daylight Savings Time on the SMC6624M.")
Time: Used in the CLI to specify the time of day, the date, and other system
parameters.
