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.
