System Information
To enter system information, do the following:
STEP 1 Click Configuration > System Management > System Information.
STEP 2 View or modify the system settings.
• System Description—Displays a description of the device.
• System Location—Enter the location where the device is physically located.
• System Contact—Enter the name of a contact person.
• System Host Name—Select the host name of this device, which used in
the prompt of CLI commands.
• Default—The default host name (System Name) of these switches is
switch123456, where 123456 represents the last three bytes of the device
MAC address in hex format.
• User Defined—Enter the host name. Use only letters, digits, and hyphens.
Host names cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols,
punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted (as specified in
RFC1033, 1034, 1035).
STEP 3 Click Apply to save the values in the Running Configuration file.
Time
This section describes the options for configuring the system time, time zone,
and Daylight Savings Time (DST). It covers the following topics:
• Overview
• System Time
• SNTP Unicast Server
Overview
Synchronized system clocks provide a frame of reference between all devices on
the network. Network time synchronization is critical because every aspect of
managing, securing, planning, and debugging a network involves determining
when events occur. Without synchronized clocks, accurately correlating log
files between devices when tracking security breaches or network usage is
impossible.
Synchronized time also reduces confusion in shared file systems, as it is
important for the modification times to be consistent, regardless of the
machine on which the file systems reside.
For these reasons, it is important that the time configured on all of the devices
on the network is accurate.
NOTE:
The device supports Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and when
enabled, the device dynamically synchronizes the device time with time
from an SNTP server. The device operates only as an SNTP client, and
cannot provide time services to other devices.
System time can be set manually by the user or dynamically from an SNTP
server. If an SNTP server is chosen, the manual time settings are overwritten
when communications with the server are established.
As part of the boot process, the device always configures the time, time zone,
and DST. These parameters are obtained from SNTP, values set manually, or, if
all else fails, from the factory defaults.
