Device Information

This window contains the main settings for all major functions
for the Switch and appears automatically when you log on. To
return to the Device Information window, click the DGS-
3600 Web Management
Information window shows the Switch's MAC Address
(assigned by the factory and unchangeable), the Boot PROM,
Firmware Version, and Hardware Version. This information is
helpful to keep track of PROM and firmware updates and to
obtain the Switch's MAC address for entry into another
network device's address table, if necessary. The user may
also enter a System Name, System Location and System
Contact to aid in defining the Switch, to the user's preference.
In addition, this window displays the status of functions on the
Switch to quickly assess their current global status. Some
Functions are hyper-linked to their configuration window for
easy access from the Device Information window.
The fields that can be configured are described below:

This field specifies the baud rate for the serial port on the Switch. There are four possible
baud rates to choose from, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200. For a connection to the Switch
using the CLI interface, the baud rate must be set to 115200, which is the default setting.
This field specifies the length of time a learned MAC Address will remain in the forwarding
table without being accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC Address is allowed to remain
idle). To change this, type in a different value representing the MAC address age-out time in
seconds. The MAC Address Aging Time can be set to any value between 10 and 1,000,000
