Chapter 3 Initially Configuring the ATM Switch Router

Configuring System Information

Although not required, the system clock and hostname should be set as part of the initial system
configuration. To set these system parameters, perform the following steps, beginning in privileged
EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1
Switch# clock set hh:mm:ss day month year
Step 2 Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#
Step 3 Switch(config)# hostname name
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the time, date, and month using the clock set command,
enter global configuration mode, and assign a hostname.
Switch# clock set 15:01:00 17 October 1999
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Switch(config)# hostname Publications

The following example shows how to confirm the clock setting using the show clock command:
Publications# show clock
*15:03:12.015 UTC Fri Oct 17 1999

Configuring Online Diagnostics (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

Online and insertion diagnostics detect and report hardware failures in the Catalyst 8540 MSR during
system bootup and operation.
The online diagnostics on the Catalyst 8540 MSR provide the following types of tests:
•
•
•
Online diagnostics tests only run on the primary route processor.
Note

Access Test (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

The access tests ensure connectivity at a configurable interval between the primary route processor and
the following:
•
•
OL-7396-01
Access tests between the route processor and the switch processors, feature cards, port adapters, and
interface modules
Online insertion and removal (OIR) diagnostic tests
Snake tests through the switch router to ensure connectivity between the ports
Active switch processors
Standby switch processor, if it is present
Configuring System Information
Purpose
Sets the system clock.
