DES-3000 Series Layer 2 Switch CLI Reference Manual
config sim
Purpose
Used to configure role parameters for the SIM protocol on the Switch.
Syntax
config sim [[commander {group_name <groupname 64>} | candidate] |
dp_interval <30-90> | hold_time <sec 100-255>]]
Description
This command is used to configure parameters of switches of the SIM.
Parameters
commander
– Use this parameter to configure the commander switch for the
following parameters:
group_name <groupname 64>
- Used to update the name of the group. Enter an
alphanumeric string of up to 64 characters to rename the SIM group.
dp_interval <30-90>
– The user may set the discovery protocol interval, in
seconds that the Switch will send out discovery packets. Returning information to
the commander switch will include information about other switches connected to
it. (Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set the discovery protocol interval from 30 to 90
seconds.
hold time <sec 100-255>
– Using this parameter, the user may set the time, in
seconds, the Switch will hold information sent to it from other switches, utilizing
the discovery interval protocol. The user may set the hold time from 100 to 255
seconds.
candidate
– Used to change the role of a commander switch to a candidate
switch.
dp_interval <30-90>
– The user may set the discovery protocol interval, in
seconds that the Switch will send out discovery packets. Returning information to
the commander switch will include information about other switches connected to
it. (Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set the dp_interval from 30 to 90 seconds.
hold time <sec 100-255>
– Using this parameter, the user may set the time, in
seconds, the Switch will hold information sent to it from other switches, utilizing
the discovery interval protocol. The user may set the hold time from 100 to 255
seconds.
Restrictions Only
administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To change the time interval of the discovery protocol:
DES-3026:4#config sim commander dp_interval 30
Command: config sim commander dp_interval 30
Success.
DES-3026:4#
To change the hold time of the discovery protocol:
DES-3026:4#config sim commander hold_time 120
Command: config sim commander hold_time 120
Success.
DES-3026:4#
To transfer the commander switch to be a candidate:
