complete the following steps.
1. Log in to the device using one of the following methods:
•
A serial console connection to the active management module. The active management module has the LED labeled
ACTIVE on the front panel illuminated in blue.
•
A Telnet session using the chassis management IP address.
2. Log in to the device using
admin
as your login name. If you have not changed the default password, use
password
for
password.
3. Enter the
ip dns domain-name
domain-name
command, where
domain-name
is the domain name for your device.
4. (Optional) Enter
ip dns name-server
ip-address
, where
ip-address
is the IP address of the DNS server.
Setting the date and time
Date and time are used for logging events. The operation of the device does not depend on the date and time; an Extreme device with an
incorrect date and time value functions properly. Because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting,
you should set them correctly.
Setting the clock (date and time)
The following procedure sets the local clock date and time. An active NTP server, if configured, automatically updates and overrides the
local clock time. Time values are limited to between January 1, 1970 and January 19, 2038.
NOTE
You should set the clock only if there are no NTP servers configured. Time synchronization from NTP servers overrides the
local clock.
1. Log in to the device using an account that has the admin role.
