Device Information

The Device Information window contains the main settings
for all major functions for the Switch and appears
automatically when you log on. To return to the Device
Information window,
Management Tool folder. The Device Information window
shows the Switch's MAC Address (assigned by the factory
and unchangeable), the Boot PROM, Firmware Version, and
Hardware Version. 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. In addition, this screen
displays the status of functions on the Switch to quickly assess
their current global status. Some Functions are hyper-linked to
their configuration window for easy access from the Device
Information window.
The fields that can be configured are described below:

Enter a system name for the Switch, if so desired. This name will identify it in the Switch
network.
Enter the location of the Switch, if so desired.

Select the logout time used for the console interface. This automatically logs the user out after
an idle period of time, as defined. Choose from the following options: 2 Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10
Minutes, 15 Minutes or Never. The default setting is 10 minutes.
This field specifies the baud rate for the serial port on the Switch. There are four possible
baud rates to choose from, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200. For a connection to the Switch
using the CLI interface, the baud rate must be set to 115200, which is the default setting.
This field specifies the length of time a learned MAC Address will remain in the forwarding
table without being accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC Address is allowed to remain
idle). To change this, type in a different value representing the MAC address age-out time in
seconds. The MAC Address Aging Time can be set to any value between 10 and 1,000,000
