Configuring Basic System Parameters

You can configure the basic system parameters from the global configuration mode.
  1. Enter the global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Configure system administration information.
    device(config)# hostname zappa
device(config)# snmp-server contact "Support Services"
device(config)# snmp-server location Centerville
device(config)# end
device# write memory
    In the example, the system name, system contact, and location are configured for the RUCKUS device and the information is saved locally in the configuration file. When you configure a system name, the name replaces the default system in the CLI command prompt. The name, contact, and location each can be up to 255 alphanumeric characters. Beginning with FastIron 09.0.00, if the contact or location has one or more spaces, enclose the input in double quotation marks.
  3. Enable user-login details in syslog messages and traps from the global configuration mode.
    device(config)# logging enable user-login
    RUCKUS devices send Syslog messages and SNMP traps when a user logs into or out of the User EXEC or Privileged EXEC level of the CLI. The feature applies to users whose access is authenticated by an authentication-method list based on a local user account, RADIUS server, or TACACS/TACACS+ server.

The following example shows how to configure basic system parameters.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hostname zappa
device(config)# snmp-server contact "Support Services"
device(config)# snmp-server location Centerville
device(config)# end
device# write memory
device(config)# logging enable user-login
