2. Change the following parameters as desired:
System Name
This parameter specifies a name for the switch (for example, Sales
Ethernet switch). Entering a value for this parameter is optional.
Note
Allied Telesyn International recommends that you assign a name to
each switch because switch names help you identify the various
switches in your network. Knowing a switch’s name ensures you
perform a configuration procedure on the correct switch.
Administrator
This parameter specifies the name of the network administrator
responsible for managing the switch. Entering a value for this
parameter is optional.
Comments
This parameter specifies additional information about the switch,
such as its location (for example, Floor 4, Wiring closet 402B).
Entering a value for this parameter is optional.
Caution
Changing the IP address of the switch may result in the loss of your
management session.
Distinguished Name
This parameter specifies the physical address of the subject of a
certificate. For more information about distinguished names refer
to Creating Certificates on page 508.
IP Address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch. You must
specify an IP address if you intend to remotely manage the switch
using a web browser, a Telnet utility, or an SNMP management
program. In addition, you must specify an IP address if you want
to configure the switch as the master switch of an enhanced stack.
Subnet Mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch. You must
specify a subnet mask if you assigned an IP address to the switch.
Default Gateway
This parameter specifies the default router’s IP address. You are
required to enter a value for this parameter if you remotely
manage the switch from a management station that is separated
from the switch by a router.
