Managing the device

About device management

This chapter describes how to configure basic device parameters and manage the device. You can perform the configuration tasks in this chapter in any order.

Device management restrictions and guidelines

After being powered on, a card takes some time to start up and complete configuration and data restoration and synchronization. Before configuring the card, use the display device and display system stable state commands to verify that the card is in Normal and Stable states. Failing to follow this rule might cause configuration failures and even device exceptions.

Configuring the device name

About this task

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>.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Configure the device name.

sysname sysname

By default, the device name is H3C.

Configuring the system time

About 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 device can use one of the following methods to obtain the system time:

·     Uses the locally set system time, and then uses the clock signals generated by its built-in crystal oscillator to maintain the system time.

·     Periodically obtains the UTC time from an NTP source and uses the UTC time, time zone, and daylight saving time to calculate the system time. For more information about NTP, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

The system time calculated by using the UTC time from a time source is more precise.

Restrictions and guidelines for configuring the system time

After you configure the clock protocol none command, the clock datetime command determines the system time, whether or not the time zone or daylight saving time has been configured.

If you configure or change the time zone or daylight saving time after the device obtains the system time, the device recalculates the system time. To view the system time, use the display clock command.

Configuring banners

About this task

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

The system supports the following banners:

·     Legal banner—Appears after the copyright 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.

·     Shell banner—Appears before the user enters user view.

The system displays the banners in the following order: legal banner, MOTD banner, login banner, and shell banner.

Banner input methods

You can configure a banner by using one of the following methods:

·     Input the entire command line in a single line.

The banner cannot contain carriage returns. The entire command line, including the command keywords, the banner, and the delimiters, can have a maximum of 511 characters. The delimiters for the banner can be any printable character but must be the same. You cannot 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.%

·     Input the command line in multiple lines.

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

To input a banner configuration command line in multiple lines, use one of the following methods:

¡     Press Enter after the final command keyword, type the banner, 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." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell

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

Have a nice day.%

¡     After you type the final command keyword, type any printable character as the start delimiter for the banner and press Enter. Then, type the banner 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." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell A

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

Have a nice day.A

¡     After you type the final command keyword, type the start delimiter and part of the banner. Make sure the final character of the final string is different from the start delimiter. Then, press Enter, type the rest of the banner, 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." as follows:

Monitoring CPU usage

About this task

To monitor CPU usage, the device performs the following operations:

·     Samples CPU usage at 1-minute intervals, and compares the samples with CPU usage thresholds to identify the CPU usage status and send alarms or notifications accordingly.

·     Samples and saves CPU usage at a configurable interval if CPU usage tracking is enabled. You can use the display cpu-usage history command to display the historical CPU usage statistics in a coordinate system.

The device supports the following CPU usage thresholds:

·     Minor threshold—If the CPU usage increases above the minor threshold but is less than or equal to the severe threshold, the CPU usage enters minor alarm state. The device sends minor alarms periodically until the CPU usage increases above the severe threshold or the minor alarm is removed.

·     Severe threshold—If the CPU usage increases above the severe threshold, the CPU usage enters severe alarm state. The device sends severe alarms periodically until the severe alarm is removed.

·     Recovery threshold—If the CPU usage decreases below the recovery threshold, the CPU usage enters recovered state. The device sends a recovery notification.

CPU usage alarms and notifications can be sent to NETCONF, SNMP, and the information center to be encapsulated as NETCONF events, SNMP traps and informs, and log messages. For more information, see NETCONF, SNMP, and information center in Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

By default, CPU usage tracking is enabled.

Monitoring CPU core usage

About this task

The device samples CPU core usage at 5-second intervals and calculates the average value during each CPU core usage statistics interval. If the value during an interval is greater than a CPU core usage threshold, the device issues an alarm and logs the event.

Restrictions and guidelines

As a best practice, set the CPU core usage statistics interval to a multiple of 5. If you do not do so, the effective statistics interval is the biggest multiple of 5 that is smaller than the setting. For example, if you set this statistics interval to 12 seconds, the effective statistics interval is 10 seconds.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Set CPU core usage statistics intervals.

monitor cpu-usage statistics-interval interval slot slot-number cpu cpu-number core core-id-list

By default, the resending intervals for severe CPU core usage alarms and minor CPU core usage alarms are all 300 seconds.

Setting memory alarm thresholds

About this task

To monitor memory usage, the device performs the following operations:

·     Samples memory usage at 1-minute intervals, and compares the sample with the memory usage threshold. If the sample is greater, the device sends a trap.

·     Monitors the amount of free memory space in real time. If the amount of free memory space reaches a free-memory threshold, the system generates an alarm notification and sends it to affected service modules or processes. If the amount of free memory space drops below a free-memory threshold, the system generates an alarm-removed notification and sends it to affected service modules or processes.

For slots that support low memory, the system monitors only the amount of free low-memory space. You can use the display memory command to display memory usage information. If the LowMem field is displayed for a slot, the slot supports low memory.

As shown in Table 2 and Figure 2, the system supports the following free-memory thresholds:

·     Normal state threshold.

·     Minor alarm threshold.

·     Severe alarm threshold.

·     Critical alarm threshold.

Managing power supply

About power supply management

Power supplies might have problems such as overload overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, and short circuit. Some power supplies use a hardware protection measure, for example, powering off the device, to protect the entire device from being damaged. The hardware protection measure helps protect the device but causes service outage. The power supply management feature can minimize service outage while protecting the device against overload problems.

The power supply management feature constantly monitors the available power and the system loads. If a potential power supply overload problem is found, this feature takes protective measures immediately to remove requirements for power supply hardware protection. Examples of protective measures include sending a notification, starting redundant power supplies, and powering off certain interface cards.

Power supply management tasks at a glance

To manage power supply, perform the following tasks:

1.     Enabling power supply management

2.     (Optional.) Specifying the number of redundant power supplies

To avoid overload problems, you can install redundant power supplies.

Enabling power supply management

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enable power supply management.

power-supply policy enable

By default, power supply management is disabled.

Specifying the number of redundant power supplies

About this task

To avoid overload problems, you can install redundant power supplies. For example, if the device requires a minimum of N power supplies to operate correctly, you can install M power supplies (M > N). The M power supplies operate in load balance mode. When a power supply fails, the load is rebalanced among the other power supplies.

After you specify the number of redundant power supplies, the device compares the maximum power consumption of a newly added card with the remaining power.

·     If the remaining power is sufficient for the card, the device powers on the card.

·     If the power is insufficient, the device does not power on the card. You can add power supplies or scale the number of redundant power supplies down.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature takes effect only if power supply management is enabled.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Specify the number of redundant power supplies.

power-supply policy redundant module-count

By default, the number of redundant power supplies is 0.

Scheduling a task

About task scheduling

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

You can configure a periodic schedule or a non-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.

Restrictions and guidelines for task scheduling

·     To assign a command (command A) to a job, you must first assign the job the command or commands for entering the view of command A.

·     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 one 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.

scheduler logfile size value

By default, the schedule log file size limit is 16 KB.

The schedule log file stores log messages for execution results of commands in jobs. After the limit is reached, the system deletes the oldest log messages to store the new log messages. If the remaining space of the log file is not enough for a single log message, the system truncates the message and does not store the extra part.

Example: Scheduling a task

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 3, two interfaces of the device are connected to users.

To save energy, configure the device to perform the following operations:

·     Enable the interfaces at 8:00 a.m. every Monday through Friday.

·     Disable the interfaces at 18:00 every Monday through Friday.

Isolating switching fabric modules

About this task

Isolating a switching fabric module isolates the module from the data plane. An isolated switching fabric module continues to communicate with the MPU, and can forward traffic immediately after the isolation is canceled. The isolation does not affect protocol packet parsing and protocol calculation on the control plane.

Restrictions and guidelines

CAUTION

CAUTION:

·     Do not isolate the only switching fabric module of the device.

·     Do not reboot the device when a switching fabric module is isolated.

 

Isolate a switching fabric module only if required. If the device has multiple switching fabric modules, isolating a switching fabric module or channel decreases the forwarding bandwidth and reduces the forwarding performance.

You can isolate switching fabric modules to identify whether switching fabric modules can forward traffic correctly.

Before replacing a switching fabric module, you can isolate the module to prevent packet loss.

To use an isolated switching fabric module or channel, use the undo switch-fabric isolate command to cancel the isolation.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Isolate a switching fabric module or channel.

switch-fabric isolate slot slot-number [ channel channel-number ]

By default, a switching fabric module is not isolated and can forward traffic.

Suppressing removal interrupt signals from switching fabric modules

About this task

Typically, removing a switching fabric module triggers one removal interrupt signal. Upon receiving the signal, the system switches traffic on the switching fabric module to other switching fabric modules to ensure service continuity. Upon hardware failure or signal interference, however, removal interrupt signals might be frequently triggered. To prevent the interrupt signals from affecting system operation, use this feature to suppress the interrupt signals.

Restrictions and guidelines

Suppressing removal interrupt signals from switching fabric modules might result in packet loss and service outage.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Suppress removal interrupt signals from switching fabric modules.

switch-fabric removal-signal-suppression

By default, removal interrupt signals from switching fabric modules are not suppressed.

Isolating a service module

About this task

When a service module fails, you can use this feature to isolate it to prevent it from affecting traffic forwarding. An isolated service module does not receive traffic.

Restrictions and guidelines

A service module reboot cancels the isolation of the service module.

To display service module operating status, execute the display device command. An isolated service module is in Offline state.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Isolate a service module.

Rebooting the device

 

About device reboot

The following device reboot methods are available:

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

·     Immediately reboot the device at the CLI.

During the reboot process, the device performs the following operations:

a.     Resets all of its chips.

b.     Uses the BootWare to verify the startup software package, decompress the package, and load the images.

c.     Initializes the system.

·     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.

Restrictions and guidelines for device reboot

A device reboot might result in a service outage.

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

Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI

Prerequisites

Perform the following steps in any view:

1.     Verify that the next-startup configuration file is correctly specified.

display startup

For more information about the display startup command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

2.     Verify that the startup image files are correctly specified.

display boot-loader

If one main startup image file is damaged or does not exist, you must specify another main startup image file before rebooting the device.

For more information about the display boot-loader command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

3.     Save the running configuration to the next-startup configuration file.

save

To avoid configuration loss, save the running configuration before a reboot.

For more information about the save command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

Procedure

To reboot the device immediately at the CLI, execute one of the following commands in user view:

reboot [ slot slot-number ] [ force ]

Scheduling a device reboot

Restrictions and guidelines

The device supports only one device reboot schedule. If you execute the scheduler reboot command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Procedure

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

·     scheduler reboot at time [ date ]

·     scheduler reboot delay time

By default, no device reboot time is specified.

Restoring the factory-default configuration

About this task

If you want to use the device in a different scenario or you cannot troubleshoot the device by using other methods, use this task to restore the factory-default configuration.

This task does not delete license files.

Restrictions and guidelines

This task is disruptive.

Procedure

1.     Execute the following command in user view to restore the factory-default configuration for the device:

restore factory-default

2.     Reboot the device.

reboot

When the command prompts you to choose whether to save the running configuration, enter N. If you choose to save the running configuration, the device loads the saved configuration at startup.

Display and maintenance commands for device management configuration
