The 

Device Information 

window contains the main

automatically when you log on to the Switch. To return

information is helpful to keep track of PROM and 

firmware updates and to obtain the Switch's MAC 

address for entry into another network device's address 

table, if necessary. The user may also enter a 

System 

Name

, 

System Location

 and 

System Contact 

to aid in 

defining the Switch, to the user's preference. In addition, 

this screen displays the status of functions on the Switch 

to quickly assess their current global status. Some 

Functions are hyper-linked for easy access from the 

Device Information window.  

Many miscellaneous functions are enabled and disabled 

in the Device Information menu.
