Viewing And Saving Changes; Specifying A System Name - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6250 Series Getting Started Manual

Specifying a System Name

The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for
the switch.
To specify a system name, enter system name, followed by a
text description.
Note. You cannot include spaces between words when
entering a system name.
For example:
-> system name EngSwitch3
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, enter system location, followed
by a text description. If you include spaces between words in
the text string, be sure to enclose the string in quotes (
For example:
-> system location "NMS Lab--NE Rack"
