Configuring WX Management Services 205
 Logging — The system log provides event information for monitoring
and troubleshooting. You can send the log information to a local data
buffer on a WX, to the console, to a Telnet session, and to a
configured set of syslog servers. (See “Configuring Logging” on
page 215.)
 Tracing — Tracing allows you to review diagnostic information for
debugging MSS. Tracing allows you to review messages about the
status of a specific area of MSS. (See “Configuring Tracing” on
page 218.)
 Time zone and summertime settings — You can configure the
system time and date statically. You also can configure MSS to offset
the time by an additional hour for daylight savings time or similar
summertime period. (See “Setting the Timezone” on page 220.)
Setting System
Information
To set system information:
1 Do one of the following:
 Open the WX Switch wizard, then select System Information under
Management Services in the organizer list of the System and
Administrative page.
 In the Organizer panel, select Management Services under a WX
switch, then select Config> Edit.
2 In the Contact box, type the contact name for the WX.
3 In the Prompt box, type the CLI prompt for the WX.
If you do not specify a prompt, the CLI uses the following default
prompts:
 WXmmmm-aabbcc> for restricted access
 WXmmmm-aabbcc# for enabled access
The mmmm portion of the prompt shows the WX switch’s model
number. The aabbcc portion shows the last three octets of the switch’s
MAC address.
4 In the Message of the Day box, type the message that appears before the
beginning of each login prompt of each CLI session. Do not use the
number sign (#), single quotation mark (‘), double quotation marks (“ ”),
or ampersand (&).
