This section provides information on configuring optional 
system parameters, including:

• the switch’s administrative contact

• a system name

• the switch’s physical location

An administrative contact is the person or department in 
charge of the switch. If a contact is specified, users can easily 
find the appropriate network administrator if they have ques-
tions or comments about the switch. 

To specify an administrative contact, enter system contact, 
followed by a text string of up to 254 characters. If you 
include spaces between words in the text string, be sure to 
enclose the string in quotes (“ ”).

For example:

-> system contact "JSmith X477 js@company.com"

The system name is a simple, user-defined text description for 
the switch. 

To specify a system name, enter system name, followed by a 
text description of up to 254 characters. If you include spaces 
between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string 
in quotes (“ ”).

For example:

-> system name "Engineering Switch 3"

It is recommended that you use a physical labeling system for 
locating and identifying your switch(es). Examples include 
placing a sticker or placard with a unique identifier (e.g., the 
switch’s default IP address) on each chassis. 

However, if no labeling system has been implemented or if 
you need to determine a switch’s location from a remote site, 
entering a system location can be very useful.

To specify a system location, enter system location, followed 
by a text description of up to 254 characters. If you include 
spaces between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the 
string in quotes (“ ”).

For example:

-> system location "NMS Lab--NE Corner Rack"
