The

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.

The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP
address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the
