You should give the Switch 2200 an easily recognizable and unique name to help you manage the system. For example, you might want to name the system according to its physical location (say, SS2200 ENGLAB).

To name the system:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system name

You are prompted for the name of the system:

Enter new string (no spaces) [Switch 2200]:

2Enter a name that is both unique on the network and meaningful to you.

The new system name appears the next time you display the system configuration.

The Switch 2200’s internal clock is initialized at the factory. You can display and change the system’s current date and time.

To change either the date or the time:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system time

The system displays the current date and time, along with a prompt asking you if the date and time are correct. Example:

The current system time is 08/24/96 04:37:57 PM.

Is this correct? (y/n):

2Enter y (yes) or n (no) at the prompt.

If you respond y, you return to the main menu. If you respond n, the system prompts you for the correct date and time.

3Enter the correct date and time in this format: mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss xM Table 4-1 discusses the format variables.
