Configuring System Management Information - Allied Telesis AT-GS950/24 Manual

Configuring System Management Information

This section explains how to assign a name to the switch, as well as the
location of the switch, and the name of the switch's administrator. Entering
this information is optional.
To set a switch's administration information, do the following procedure:
1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System
folder.
The System folder expands.
2. From the System folder, select Management.
The Management Page is displayed. See Figure 7 for the
AT-GS950/24 Management Page.
3. Configure the following parameters as necessary:
System Description
Specifies the model number of the switch. You cannot change this
parameter.
System Object ID
Indicates the unique SNMP MIB object identifier that identifies the
switch model. You cannot change this parameter.
System Name
Specifies a name for the switch, for example, Sales. The name is
optional and may contain up to 50 characters.
Note
Allied Telesis recommends that you assign a name to the switch. A
name can help you identify the switch when you manage it and can
also help you avoid performing a configuration procedure on the
wrong switch.
