Configure System Settings on ESW2-350G Switches

Objectives

Switches have several different system settings including the host name, location, system mode, and login banner. This helps the network admin or the user locate the switch. The ESW2-350G switch can be operated in both Layer 2 and Layer 3. A Layer 2 switch uses MAC addresses to transfer data from port to port, whereas a Layer 3 switch uses IP addresses to do the same thing. Layer 3 also helps in inter VLAN routing.

The objective of this article is to explain how to configure the System Settings on ESW2-350G switches.
