System name
Hallo
GS728TXPv3 with firmware: 6.2.2.40
This is a new switch and i just did the basic setup wenn i hung it in a DC.
Besecly the old switch was still in use.
Now that one is gone and i want to continue.
But i can not change the name or system contact.
The way i did: login -management.
On a other netgear switch is a purple button but not on this one.
I know normaly this is easy to do but...
On some Cisco switches it is a brouwser thingy then it log in with a Microsoft brouser and you see the compleet interface.
But never saw this on a Netgear.
Anbody know of this???

System Name, System Location, and System Contact can be configured in the Web UI under
- System -> Management -> System Information
The System Name can always be configured, independent of the Insight Management mode.
System Location, and System Contact fields are greyed in Insight mode. There is a radio button (on/off) control, to temporarely disable Insight mode on the- Dashboard in the Device Details
All the other SNMP controls - for v1/v2 as well as for v3 - are under
- System -> Protocols -> SNMP ...

Thx
I did try what you tyot and basicly it did not work..
I know this from other switches.
sometimes the gui is juste to old or they can only work with console.
But
Then i saw the insight button.
I did turn this off and i could do the changes.
Turn insight back on and i was done.
Thx you for the help anyway
