Managing The Device; Configuring The Device Name; Setting The System Time - HP 12500 Configuration Manual

Managing the device

This chapter describes how to monitor the operating status of the device, configure the running
parameters (such as the device name, system time, and the temperature alarm thresholds), and reboot
the device.
You can perform the configuration tasks in this chapter in any order.

Configuring the device name

A device name, or "hostname" identifies a device in a network and is used as the user view prompt at
the CLI. For example, if the device name is Sysname, the user view prompt is <Sysname>.
To configure the device name:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the device name.

Setting the system time

CAUTION:
The system time is always restored to the default after a reboot. After rebooting the device, reconfigure the
system time or configure NTP for the device. For more information about NTP, see
and Monitoring Configuration Guide
The system time is determined by the UTC time, local time zone, and daylight saving time. You can use
the display clock command to view the system time.
A correct system time setting is essential to network management and communication. Set the system time
correctly or use NTP to synchronize your device with a trusted time source before you run it on the
network.
To set the system time:
Step
1. Set the UTC time.
2. Enter system view.
3. Set the local time zone.
4. Set the daylight saving time
