Chapter 2: Basic Switch Parameters
58 Section I: Basic Operations
The System Information section displays the following information:
MAC Address
The MAC address of the switch.
Model Name
The model name of the switch.
Serial Number
The serial number of the switch.
System Name
The name of the switch. To set the name, refer to “Configuring the
Switch’s Name, Location, and Contact” on page 44.
Administrator
The name of the network administrator responsible for managing the
switch. To set the name of the administrator, refer to “Configuring the
Switch’s Name, Location, and Contact” on page 44.
Comments
The location of the switch, (for example, 4th Floor - rm 402B). To set
the location, refer to “Configuring the Switch’s Name, Location, and
Contact” on page 44.
BOOTP/DHCP
The source of the IP address of the local interface. This field will be
“DHCP” or “BOOTP” if the local interface obtained its IP configuration
from a DHCP or BOOTP server. Alternatively, if the IP address was set
manually, this field will be “Static.” This field will be blank if the switch
does not have a local interface.
IP Address
The IP address of the local interface.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of the local interface.
Default Gateway
For AT-9400 Series switches that support IPv4 routing, such as the
AT-9448Ts and AT-9448Ts/XP switches, this field displays the IP
address of the next hop of the switch’s default route. The switch uses
the default route when it receives a network packet for routing, but
cannot find a route for it in the routing table. This field will contain
0.0.0.0 if no default route is defined on the switch.
For AT-9400 Series switches that do not support IPv4 packet routing,
such as the AT-9424T/GB and AT-9424T/SP switches, this field
displays the default gateway address. This is the IP address of a
router interface on your network. The switch’s management software
uses this address as the next hop to reaching a remote network device
when the switch’s local interface and the remote device are on
different subnets. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
