Paging a Switch
To help you locate a particular switch in a rack of switches, you can turn on the
beacon feature with the
Set Beacon
command. This causes all port Logged-In
LEDs to flash in unison. The following is an example of how to turn the beacon on
and off.
SANbox #> set beacon on
SANbox $> set beacon off
Setting the Date and Time
The switch date and time can be set explicitly using the
Date
command or it can
be set automatically through a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. The Date
command also displays the current time. Unlike the Date command, the NTP
server also synchronizes the date and time on the switch with the date and time
on the workstation, which is required for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections.
If you are using the date command, you can set the time zone using the
Set Timezone
command. The default time zone is Universal Time (UTC) also
known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Changing the time zone converts the
current time to the time in the new time zone. For this reason, if you are not using
an NTP server, set the time zone first, then set the date and time.
See the following date and time management examples:
Displaying the Date and Time
Setting the Date and Time Explicitly
Setting the Date and Time through NTP
Displaying the Date and Time
Enter the
Date
command to display the date and time as shown in the following
example:
SANbox #> date
Mon Apr 07 07:51:24 200x
NOTE:
To set the date with the
Date
command, the NTP client must be disabled.
For information about disabling the NTPClientEnabled parameter, refer to
the
Set Setup System
command.
