You should set the system name to identify this unit to SNMP
management stations. You can also set the location and contact so that
other system administrators can contact you for information.
Use the Web Link system configuration screens to set these values from a
browser.
To set the system name, location, and contact, follow these steps:
1 (Required) Assign a name to the switch using:
SETDefault -SYS SysNAMe = Ò<string>Ó
For example, to set the system name to Engineering.SanJose, enter:
SETDefault -SYS SysNAMe = ÒEngineering.SanJoseÓ
2 (Optional) Specify the system location using:
SETDefault -SYS SysLOCation = Ò<string>Ó
For example, to set the system location to SecondFloor.Lab, enter:
SETDefault -SYS SysLOCation = ÒSecondFloor.LabÓ
3 (Optional) Identify the contact person managing the switch using:
SETDefault -SYS SysCONtact = Ò<string>Ó
For example, to identify John Smith as the system contact and
(408)555-1111 as the phone number at which to reach him, enter:
SETDefault -SYS SysCONtact = ÒJohn Smith (408) 555-1111Ó
If the system contact is specified, users can obtain this information using
the SHow -SYS SysCONtact command.
To allow system administrator-only read/write access to files, use these
commands and parameters:
The SNMP Service parameter COMmunity modifies the list of
communities and managers with read/write access to the device. By
default, any application can read the SNMP MIBs. To provide write
access for Transcend upgrade and configuration management, a
community and manager(s) must be configured. For information on
how to use the COMmunity parameter, see Reference for Enterprise
OS Software.
