3. Change the chassis name by completing the following steps.
a) Enter congure terminal to enter global conguration mode.
b) Enter switch-attributes chassis-name chassis-name, where chassis-name is the new chassis name.
c) Enter exit to return to privileged EXEC mode.
d) To verify the new chassis name, enter the show chassis command.
4. Change the host name by completing the following steps.
a) Enter congure terminal to enter global conguration mode.
b) Enter switch-attributes host-name host-name, where host-name is the new host name.
c) Enter exit to return to privileged EXEC mode.
d) To verify the new host name, enter the show running-cong | include host command.
5. Record the new names for future reference.
Conguring the DNS service
To view the current DNS
conguration, enter the show ip dns command. To manually congure a unique domain name for your device,
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; a Brocade 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
congured, 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 congured. Time synchronization from NTP servers overrides the
local clock.
1. Log in to the device using an account that has the admin role.
