Setting and Viewing the Node Name

The switch name identifies the switch you are working on, which is important when you are managing
multiple switches. The current switch name appears in the CLI prompt when you are managing PXM
cards and service modules. To change the switch name, use the following procedure.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with SUPER_GP privileges or higher.
Enter the following command after the switch prompt:
Step 2
unknown.7.PXM.a > cnfname <node name>
Enter up to 32 characters for the new node name, and since the node name is case-sensitive, be sure to
use the correct case. For example:
unknown.7.PXM.a > cnfname mgx8850a
This node name will be changed to mgx8850a. Please Confirm
cnfname: Do you want to proceed (Yes/No)? y
cnfname: Configured this node name to mgx8850a Successfully.
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a>
Note
The new name appears immediately in the next CLI prompt.

Viewing and Setting the Switch Date and Time

The switch date and time is appended to event messages and logs. To assure that events are properly time
stamped, use the following procedure to view and change the date and time.
Note The procedure that follows propagates the switch date and time to all cards on the switch except for the
RPM cards. Use the CLI to manually configure the switch date and time on each RPM card in your
switch, or use SNTP to enable each RPM card to retrieve the date and time from a network server.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with SUPER_GP privileges or higher.
To view the current switch date and time, enter the following command after the switch prompt:
Step 2
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dspdate
To change the switch date, enter the following command:
Step 3
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> cnfdate <mm/dd/yyyy>
