Assigning Names to Switch

2.

Press F2 and the Advanced Menu screen appears. The highlight is in
the Commands menu. Press the Right arrow key to move the highlight
to the Setup menu.

3.

Using the Up and Down arrow keys, move the highlight to Names and
press Enter. The Port Naming window appears with the first port
position (or computer name) highlighted.

4.

Move the highlight to the Port entry for which the computer name is to
be entered or changed. Type in the name of computer using up to 12
alphanumeric characters. Legal characters are A-Z, 0-9, and the dash
character. Lowercase letters are converted to uppercase. Press Back
Space
to delete an incorrect entry.

5.

If necessary, repeat step 4 for each of the computers in the system that
are to be named. Press Enter to save the computer name(s) in
NVRAM. You can press Esc at any time prior to pressing Enter to
cancel the operation.
