Configuring Basic System Parameters
The procedures in this section describe how to configure the basic system parameters listed in Table 3.2.
NOTE:
For information about the Syslog buffer and messages, see “Using Syslog” on page A-1.
Entering System Administration Information
You can configure a system name, contact, and location for a Foundry device and save the information locally in
the configuration file for future reference. This information is not required for system operation but is suggested.
When you configure a system name, the name replaces the default system name in the CLI command prompt.
The name, contact, and location each can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Here is an example of how to configure a system name, system contact, and location:
FastIron SuperX Switch(config)# hostname zappa
zappa(config)# snmp-server contact Support Services
zappa(config)# snmp-server location Centerville
zappa(config)# end
zappa# write memory
Syntax:
hostname <string>
Syntax:
snmp-server contact <string>
Syntax:
snmp-server location <string>
The text strings can contain blanks. The SNMP text strings do not require quotation marks when they contain
blanks but the host name does.
NOTE:
The
chassis name
command does not change the CLI prompt. Instead, the command assigns an
administrative ID to the device.
