Examples
The following example shows how to configure the time, date, and month using the clock set command,
enter global configuration mode, and assign a hostname.
Switch# clock set 15:01:00 17 October 1999
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# hostname Publications

Configuring Online Diagnostics (Catalyst 8540 MSR)
Online and insertion diagnostics detect and report hardware failures in the Catalyst 8540 MSR during
system bootup and operation.
The online diagnostics on the Catalyst 8540 MSR provide the following types of tests:
• Access tests between the route processor and the switch processors, feature cards, port adapters,
and interface modules
• Online insertion and removal (OIR) diagnostic tests
• Snake tests through the switch router to ensure connectivity between the ports
Note Online diagnostics tests only run on the primary route processor.
Access Test (Catalyst 8540 MSR)
The access tests ensure connectivity at a configurable interval between the primary route processor and
the following:
• Active switch processors
• Standby switch processor, if it is present
• Feature cards
• Carrier modules
• ATM port adapters
• ATM and Layer 3 interface modules
• ATM router modules
When the access test detects a hardware failure, the system issues an error message to the console.
If the access test detects a hardware problem with an active switch processor, the standby switch
processor, if it is present, automatically takes over and becomes an active switch processor. The system
generates an SNMP trap when the switchover occurs.
Note The access test does not support the network clock module.
