# Define SNMP Maintenance Information

You can define the following optional system information to assist in maintaining your SNMP service:

- System contact person
- Site description
- Location
- System name

Note: Keep in mind that the following task is optional and is not required for your SNMP services to work correctly.

Note: For a list of all the Appliance Controller commands, see the Command Index.

1. Log in to the Appliance Controller CLI.
2. Enter:

snmp sysinfo (sysContact=<contact>, sysDescr=<description>, sysLocation=<location>, sysName=<name>)

The parameters are:

`sysContact=<contact>` | Administrator or contact for the system hosting the SNMP service, along with contact information.
`sysDescr=<description>` | Site of the system hosting the SNMP service, such as DataCenter1.
`sysLocation=<location>` | Location of the system hosting the SNMP service.
`sysName=<name>` | Name of the system hosting the SNMP service.

Note: You can use arbitrary strings, but make sure to surround space-separated items with quotation marks (" ").

Example:

> snmp sysinfo sysContact="John Smith x1234", sysDescr="DataCenter1", sysLocation="CA Lab", sysName="Tomahawk"
