Setting The Date And Time - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base User Manual

NOTE: Record the passwords exactly as entered and store them in a secure place; recovering
passwords requires significant effort and fabric downtime. The initial login prompt accepts a maximum
password length of eight characters. Characters beyond the eighth are ignored. Only the default
password is subject to the eight-character limit. Any password set by the user can have a length of 8 to 40
characters.

Setting the date and time

Switches maintain the current date and time in flash memory. Date and time are used for logging events.
Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value
still functions properly. Because the date and time are used for logging, set them correctly.
NOTE: If secure mode is not enabled, a change in date or time to one switch is forwarded to the
principal switch and distributed to the fabric. If secure mode is enabled, you can make date or time
changes only on the primary FCS switch and then distribute the changes to the fabric.
