Configuring a System Name and Prompt
DETAILED STEPS
To disable summer time, use the no clock summer-time global configuration command.
EXAMPLE
This example shows how to set summer time to start on October 12, 2014, at 02:00, and end on April 26,
2015, at 02:00:
Switch(config)# clock summer-time pdt date 12 October 2014 2:00 26 April 2015 2:00
Configuring a System Name and Prompt
You configure the system name on the switch to identify it. When you set the system name, it is also used
as the system prompt. By default, the system name and prompt are Switch.
If you have not configured a system prompt, the first 20 characters of the system name are used as the
system prompt. A greater-than symbol [>] is appended. The prompt is updated whenever the system
name changes.
