Installation and Getting Started Guide
USING THE CLI
Here is an example of how to configure a switch or routing switch name, system contact, and location:
HP6208(config)# hostname oakland
Oakland(config)# snmp-server contact Suzy Creamcheese
Oakland(config)# snmp-server location Centerville
Oakland(config)# end
Oakland# write memory
Syntax: hostname <string>
NOTE: On the HP 9304M, HP 9308M, and HP 6308M-SX, you also can use the chassis name command to set
the device name.
Syntax: snmp-server contact <string>
Syntax: snmp-server location <string>
The text strings can contain blanks. The SNMP text strings do not require quotation marks when they contain
blanks but the host name does.
