Configuring the device name

A device name (also called hostname) identifies a device in a network and is used in CLI view prompts. For example, if the device name is Sysname, the user view prompt is <Sysname>.

To configure the device name:

 

Step

Command

Remarks

1.      Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.      Configure the device name.

sysname sysname

The default device name is H3C.

 

Configuring the system time

Correct system time is essential to network management and communication. Configure the system time correctly before you run the device on the network.

The system time is determined by the UTC time, the time zone, and the daylight saving time. You can use the display clock command to view the system time.

The device can obtain the UTC time from one of the following time sources:

·           None—Local UTC time, set by using the clock datetime command. The local UTC time is restored to the default after a reboot. After a device reboot, you must reconfigure the local UTC time.

·           NTP—NTP time source. You must configure NTP correctly. For more information about NTP and NTP configuration, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

On an S7500E-XS switch, system time settings are restored to the default after a reboot. After an S7500E-XS switch reboots, you must reconfigure the system time for the switch.

To configure the system time:

 

Step

Command

Remarks

1.      Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.      Specify the UTC time source.

clock protocol { none | ntp }

By default, the device uses the NTP time source.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

3.      (Optional.) Set the local UTC time.

a       Return to user view:
quit

b       Specify a UTC time for the device:
clock datetime time date

c       Enter system view again:
system-view

Required when the local UTC time source is used.

4.      Set the time zone.

clock timezone zone-name { add | minus } zone-offset

By default, the time zone is not set.

This setting must be consistent with the time zone of the place where the device resides.

5.      Set the daylight saving time.

clock summer-time name start-time start-date end-time end-date add-time

By default, the daylight saving time is not set.

The settings must be consistent with the daylight saving time parameters of the place where the device resides.

 

Enabling displaying the copyright statement

When displaying the copyright statement is enabled, the device displays the copyright statement in the following situations:

·           When a Telnet or SSH user logs in.

·           When a console user quits user view. This is because the device automatically tries to restart the user session.

The following is a sample copyright statement:

******************************************************************************

* Copyright (c) 2004-2014 Hangzhou H3C Tech. Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.  *

* Without the owner's prior written consent,                                 *

* no decompiling or reverse-engineering shall be allowed.                    *

******************************************************************************

To enable displaying the copyright statement:

 

Step

Command

Remarks

1.      Enter system view.

N/A

2.      Enable displaying the copyright statement.

copyright-info enable

By default, this feature is enabled.

 

Configuring banners

Banners are messages that the system displays when a user logs in.

Banner types

The system supports the following banners:

·           Legal banner—Appears after the copyright or license statement. To continue login, the user must enter Y or press Enter. To quit the process, the user must enter N. Y and N are case insensitive.

·           Message of the Day (MOTD) banner—Appears after the legal banner and before the login banner.

·           Login banner—Appears only when password or scheme authentication is configured.

·           Incoming bannerThe device does not support this banner.

·           Shell banner—Appears for all login users.

Banner input methods

You can configure a single-line banner or a multiline banner.

·           Single-line banner.

A single-line banner must be input in the same line as the command. The start and end delimiters for the banner can be any printable character. However, they must be the same and must not be included in the banner. The input text, including the command keywords and the delimiters, cannot exceed 511 characters. Do not press Enter before you input the end delimiter.

For example, you can configure the shell banner "Have a nice day." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell %Have a nice day.%

·           Multiline banner.

A multiline banner can contain carriage returns. A carriage return is counted as two characters.

To input a multiline banner, use one of the following methods:

¡  Method 1—Press Enter after the final command keyword, enter the banner as prompted, and end the final line with the delimiter character %. The banner plus the delimiter can have a maximum of 1999 characters.

For example, you can configure the banner "Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell

Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.

Have a nice day.

Please input the password.%

¡  Method 2—After you type the final command keyword, type any single printable character as the start delimiter for the banner and press Enter. Then, type the banner as prompted and end the final line with the same delimiter. The banner plus the end delimiter can have a maximum of 1999 characters.

For example, you can configure the banner "Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell A

Please input banner content, and quit with the character 'A'.

Have a nice day.

Please input the password.A

¡  Method 3—After you type the final command keyword, type the start delimiter and part of the banner and press Enter. Then, enter the rest of the banner as prompted and end the final line with the same delimiter. The banner plus the start and end delimiters can have a maximum of 2002 characters.

For example, you can configure the banner "Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell AHave a nice day.

Please input banner content, and quit with the character 'A'.

Please input the password.

Setting the system operating mode

The device can operate in the following modes:

·           advance—Advanced mode.

·           standard—Standard mode.

In different operating modes, the device supports different features, and might have different specifications for the supported features. For example, the FCoE feature is supported only in advanced mode.

To change the operating mode to advance, make sure the device has enough IFP ACL resources. To display the current IFP ACL resource information, use the display qos-acl resource command. For more information about this command, see ACL and QoS Command Reference.

To set the system operating mode:

 

Step

Command

Remarks

1.      Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.      Set the system operating mode.

system-working-mode { advance | standard }

By default, the device operates in standard mode.

Change to the operating mode takes effect after a reboot.

 

Rebooting the device

CAUTION:

·       A device reboot might interrupt network services.

·       To avoid configuration loss, use the save command to save the running configuration before a reboot. For more information about the save command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

·       Before a reboot, use the display startup and display boot-loader commands to verify that the startup configuration file and startup software images are correctly specified. If a startup configuration file or software image problem exists, the device cannot start up correctly. For more information about the two display commands, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

 

The following device reboot methods are available:

·           Immediately reboot the device at the CLI.

·           Schedule a reboot at the CLI, so the device automatically reboots at the specified time or after the specified period of time.

·           Power off and then power on the device. This method might cause data loss, and is the least-preferred method.

Using the CLI, you can reboot the device from a remote host.

Configuration guidelines

When you schedule a reboot, follow these guidelines:

·           The automatic reboot configuration is canceled if a master/subordinate switchover occurs.

·           For data security, the device does not reboot while it is performing file operations.

Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI

Execute one of the following commands as appropriate in user view:

 

Task

Command

Reboot a member device, an interface card, or all IRF member devices.

reboot [ slot slot-number [ subslot subslot-number ] ] [ force ]

 

Scheduling a device reboot

The device supports only one device reboot schedule. If you configure the scheduler reboot at or scheduler reboot delay command multiple times or configure both commands, the most recent configuration takes effect.

To schedule a reboot, execute either of the following commands in user view:

 

Task

Command

Remarks

Specify the reboot date and time.

scheduler reboot at time [ date ]

By default, no reboot date or time is specified.

Specify the reboot delay time.

scheduler reboot delay time

By default, no reboot delay time is specified.

 

Scheduling a task

You can schedule the device to automatically execute a command or a set of commands without administrative interference.

You can configure a non-periodic schedule or a periodic schedule. A non-periodic schedule is not saved to the configuration file and is lost when the device reboots. A periodic schedule is saved to the startup configuration file and is automatically executed periodically.

Configuration guidelines

When you schedule a task, follow these guidelines:

·           Make sure all commands in a schedule are compliant to the command syntax. The system does not check the syntax when you assign a command to a job.

·           A schedule cannot contain any of these commands: telnet, ftp, ssh2, and monitor process.

·           A schedule does not support user interaction. If a command requires a yes or no answer, the system always assumes that a Y or Yes is entered. If a command requires a character string input, the system assumes that either the default character string (if any) or a null string is entered.

·           A schedule is executed in the background, and no output (except for logs, traps, and debug information) is displayed for the schedule.

Verifying and diagnosing transceiver modules

Verifying transceiver modules

You can use one of the following methods to verify the genuineness of a transceiver module:

·           Display the key parameters of a transceiver module, including its transceiver type, connector type, central wavelength of the transmit laser, transfer distance, and vendor name.

·           Display its electronic label. The electronic label is a profile of the transceiver module and contains the permanent configuration, including the serial number, manufacturing date, and vendor name. The data is written to the storage component during debugging or testing.

Install only transceiver modules that are from H3C or HP. If you install a transceiver module that is not from H3C or HP, the device will generate a log message to ask you to replace the module. For more information about log messages, see information center configuration in Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

To verify transceiver modules, execute the following commands in any view:

 

Task

Command

Remarks

Display the key parameters of transceiver modules.

display transceiver { interface [ interface-type interface-number ] }

N/A

Display the electrical label information of transceiver modules.

display transceiver manuinfo interface [ interface-type interface-number ] }

This command cannot display information for some transceiver modules.

 

Diagnosing transceiver modules

The device provides the alarm and digital diagnosis features for transceiver modules. When a transceiver module fails or is not operating correctly, you can perform the following tasks:

·           Check the alarms that exist on the transceiver module to identify the fault source.

·           Examine the key parameters monitored by the digital diagnosis feature, including the temperature, voltage, laser bias current, TX power, and RX power.

To diagnose transceiver modules, execute the following commands in any view:

 

Task

Command

Remarks

Display transceiver alarms.

display transceiver alarm { interface [ interface-type interface-number ] }

N/A

Display the current values of the digital diagnosis parameters on transceiver modules.

display transceiver diagnosis { interface [ interface-type interface-number ] }

This command cannot display information about some transceiver modules.

 

Disabling alarm traps for transceiver modules

Disable alarm traps if the transceiver modules were manufactured or sold by H3C.

The device regularly detects transceiver modules that have a vendor name other than H3C or do not have a vendor name. Upon detecting such a transceiver module, the device repeatedly outputs traps and logs to notify the user to replace the module.

To disable alarm traps for transceiver modules:

 

Step

Command

Remarks

1.      Enter system view.
