Switch Device Configuration

Making device configuration changes at the switch device level overrides the equivalent settings in the network policy assigned to the device, after you push the updated configuration to the device.

Use this task to make device configuration changes at the device level.

Go to Manage > Devices.
Select the host name of the switch in the Devices list, and then select the Configure tab in the Device Details panel.
Under the Configure menu, select Device Configuration.
Configure the Device Details:
- Host Name: Enter a unique host name for the device. It can contain up to 32 characters and can include spaces.
- SNMP Location: Enter a location name, for example headquarters, building 1.
Configure the Network Details:
- Network Policy: Select a network policy from the drop-down list of existing policies.
- Device Template: Select a device template from the drop-down list of existing templates, or clone an existing template.
Toggle Management Interface Settings to On or Off.

When enabled, Switch Engine management interface settings apply and override template-level management interface settings. If disabled, you can apply template settings, or the device will use manually configured management interface settings. Leave disabled when using Out-Of-Band Management.
Optional: Configure Supplemental CLI.
