What is the purpose of the "System Location" and "System Contact" boxes under SNMP?

The purpose of the "System Location" and "System Contact" boxes under SNMP is to provide descriptive information about the device's physical location and the contact person responsible for managing the device. This information serves as a form of documentation that aids network administrators in identifying and managing devices within a network.

These fields do not have a direct impact on the functionality of SNMP itself but are included for informational purposes only. This is particularly useful for larger organizations with numerous devices, as it allows administrators to quickly ascertain where a device is located and whom to contact for issues related to that device without needing to dig deeper into the system configuration.

The other options suggest functional uses of the settings that do not align with the role of the "System Location" and "System Contact" fields, which are strictly for providing context and making network management easier.
