Device Management; Configuring The Device Name; Changing The System Time; Configuration Guidelines - HP A5830 Series Configuration Manual

Device management

Device management includes monitoring the operating status of devices and configuring their running
parameters.
The configuration tasks in this document are all optional and independent from one another.

Configuring the device name

A device name identifies a device in a network and works as the user view prompt at the CLI. For
example, if the device name is Sysname, the user view prompt is <Sysname>.
Task...
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the device name.

Changing the system time

Synchronize your switch with a trusted time source by using NTP or changing the system time before
running it on the network.
Network management depends on an accurate system time setting, because the timestamps of system
messages and logs use the system time.
In a small-sized network, manually set the system time of each device.

Configuration guidelines

Change the system time by configuring the relative time, time zone, and daylight saving time.
The configuration result depends on their configuration order (see
