Switch Device Configuration

About this task

Use this task to make device configuration changes at the switch device level, which overrides any equivalent settings in the network policy assigned to this device after you push the updated configuration to the device.

Procedure

  1. To configure or modify existing settings for a specific switch, select the host name of the switch in the Devices list, then select the Configure tab in the Device Details panel, under the Configure tab, and select Device Configuration.
  2. For 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.
  3. For 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.
  4. Enable or Disable Management Settings.

    When enabled, Switch Engine management interface settings will be applied and override template-level management interface settings. If disabled, template settings can be applied or the device will use manually configured management interface settings. Leave disabled when using Out-Of-Band Management.
