Device Configuration

With the Device Configuration page, you can:

Configuring the Host Name, System Contact, and Location

To configure device-specific SNMP information, such as the host name, system contact, and location:

  1. In the Host Name field, enter a host name (up to 31 characters) for the command switch or a member switch.
    Note: Make sure the host name is unique.
    You can change the name of the command switch and member switches.
    Note: If you did not assign a host name to command switch prior to launching the cluster management software, it is assigned a default host name of "Switch." Cluster members, without previously assigned host names, are assigned the name "Switch" plus a number ("Switch-1"), which indicates the order in which the device was added to the cluster. If you assigned a host name to a cluster member prior to launching Cluster Builder, that name is retained and displayed on the page.
  2. In the System Contact field, enter the name of the person or the organization who is responsible for this switch (up to 129 characters).
  3. In the System Location field, enter the location of the system (up to 129 characters).
  4. Click OK.
    If you changed the host name on a switch, the new name is displayed on the switch in Cluster Manager.
  5. In Cluster Manager, click Save Config to save the configuration change to nonvolatile memory.

Displaying the System Uptime

The Device Configuration page automatically displays the uptime in the System Uptime field for the selected cluster member.
