Configure Switch Identification
Perform this procedure to configure the switch name, description, location, and contact person for
the HAFM application. The information is displayed in multiple dialog boxes throughout the
application. In addition, the Name, Location, and Contact variables configured at the
Configure Identification dialog box correspond respectively to the SNMP variables sysName,
sysLocation, and sysContact. These variables are used by SNMP management workstations
when obtaining data from managed switches.
To configure the switch identification:
1. At the Configure window, click the Switch tab. The Switch page is displayed with the
Identification tab selected (Figure 37).

hpes232.
