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.
