Adding Bridge Information
You should provide general device information for your bridge the
first time you set it up. This information is required by all MIB II
conformant devices and is generally useful because it includes the
location of the bridge and the name of the person responsible for
it (useful if the bridge is not operating correctly).
Select SYSTEM INFORMATION from the System menu.
The System Information screen appears, as shown in Figure 2-13
.
You use this screen for entering and modifying device
information. Any existing information is displayed.
Enter the information and, when you are sure it is correct, return
to the Configuration menu.
Figure 2-13 System Information
