Bridge Module Name (Alias)
To make communication with your remote Bridge Modules easier, we recommend that you assign a unique name to each Bridge Module. You can then use this name (instead of the IP address or Ethernet MAC address) to reference the appropriate Bridge Module. In this manner you can log into a remote Bridge Module by issuing the REMOTE_LOGIN NAME <Bridge Module Name> command. Use the SET DEVICE NAME command to assign a unique name to your Bridge Module.
Bridge Module Management Prompt
You can customize the management prompt to a string of up to 15 characters long. The default management prompt is the string “OEBM> ”. A new prompt could also include the angle bracket (>) and the trailing space if desired.
Modify the management prompt by using the SET TERMINAL PROMPT command as shown below.
OEBM> set terminal prompt Bridge_A> [ENTER]
Bridge_A>
3Com recommends that you set a unique management prompt for each Bridge Module in the network. Doing so helps identify the specific Bridge Module to which you are connected during remote management functions. Refer to the REMOTE_LOGIN and LOGOUT commands and the Remote Management section in this chapter for more information on remote management.
Note: 3Com recommends that you set the prompt to the same value as the Bridge Module name (alias).
