Setting Optional Parameters

Specifying an Administrative Contact

An administrative contact is the person or department in
charge of the switch. If a contact is specified, users can easily
find the appropriate network administrator if they have
questions or comments about the switch.
To specify an administrative contact, use the system contact
command.

Specifying a System Name

The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for
the switch. To specify a system name, use the system name
command.

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, use the system location
command.
