Configuring the System
Console version
Select System Configuration from the Console Main Menu to reach the System Configuration screen:
1.
In Switch Name, enter a unique name up to 32 alphanumeric characters to identify this Switch in your
network, for example, "Backbone Bldg. 1" or "Accounting Switch X."

"13th Floor."
5.
MAC address is a view-only field showing the Switch's hardware address.6.
In Default Gateway, enter the IP address for a gateway or router. This address tells the Switch which
device is responsible to deliver all IP packets not destined for ports accessible through the Switch. This
address is required if the Switch and the network management station are on different networks or
subnets. The default value of 0.0.0.0 means no gateway exists and the network management station is on
the same network.
7.
Trap Level sets specific traps you wish sent to an SNMP management system.8.
BOOTP/DHCP: Use this parameter to enable or disable the DHCP function of the Switch. If you have a
DHCP server on your network and the BOOTP/DHCP is enabled, an IP address is automatically mapped
to the Switch when it is turned on. A DHCP server can also assign the subnet mask and default gateway,
avoiding the trouble of having to configure devices individually.

helpful when troubleshooting or upgrading new software.
10.
Software Version: This view-only field shows the current version of the Switch software. This information
