Managing The Device; Configuring The Device Name; Setting The System Time - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Managing the device

This chapter describes how to monitor the operating status of the device, configure the running
parameters (such as the device name, system time, and the temperature alarm thresholds), and reboot
the device.
You can perform the configuration tasks in this chapter in any order.

Configuring the device name

A device name, or "hostname," identifies a device in a network and is used as the user view prompt at
the CLI. For example, if the device name is Sysname, the user view prompt is <Sysname>.
To configure the device name:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the device name.

Setting the system time

The system time is determined by the UTC time, local time zone, and daylight saving time. You can use
the display clock command to view the system time.
A correct system time setting is essential to network management and communication. Set the system time
correctly or use NTP to synchronize your device with a trusted time source before you run it on the
network.
If you configure both the system time and NTP or SNTP, the device uses the time synchronized from the
NTP server as the system time.
Powering off the switch or rebooting the switch by using the reboot command does not affect the system
time.
To set the system time:
Step
1. Set the UTC time.
2. Enter system view.
3. Set the local time zone.
4. Set the daylight saving time.
