Description

This command sets a switch’s name, the name of the network
administrator responsible for managing the unit, and the location of the
unit.

If a parameter already has a value, the new value replaces the existing
value. To view the current values for these parameters, refer to “SHOW
SYSTEM” on page 63.
To delete a value without assigning a new value,
refer to “RESET SYSTEM” on page 44.

Note

If you define the system name before you set up a system prompt,
the switch uses the first 16 characters of the system name as the
prompt. See “SET PROMPT” on page 36.

Examples

The following command sets a switch’s information:

set system name="Sales" contact="Jane Smith" location="Bldg
3, rm 212"

The following command sets just the system’s name:

set system name="PR Office"
