Configure a Host Name
If you have more than one individually managed S-Series switch, you can
differentiate them by creating a unique CLI host name prompt for each switch.
Use the hostname command, in Global Config mode, to edit the prompt. The
host name is case-sensitive and can be up to 64 characters in length.
Access the System Remotely
Configure the Management Port IP Address
On first startup, you have management access only through the console port. If
you want to manage the switch through an IP-based access method (Telnet,
SSH, SNMP, TFTP, etc.), you must configure a management IP interface, using
the following the procedure.
NOTE: Creating a management IP address is supported by both the Layer 2
(Switching) and Layer 3 (Routing) licenses of SFTOS.
By default, the management address is reachable from all ports on the default
VLAN, VLAN 1. One or more ports in that VLAN must be enabled.
