set envar
The set command sets or modifies the value of an environment variable. It can
also be used to create a new environment variable if the name used is unique.
Environment variables are used to pass configuration information between the
console and the operating system. The setting of these variables determines
how the system powers up, boots the operating system, and operates. The
syntax is:
set [-default] envar value

variables, the new value takes effect only after you reset the system by
pressing the Reset button or issuing the initialize command:

os_type
show envar
