Chapter 4 Managing Miscellaneous Commands

Resetting the saved switch prefix

You can reset the saved switch prefix to current address. This prevents the current address from changing even after a reset.

To reset the saved switch prefix, use the address reset command.

Command: M15-155s8:/>address reset

Setting the switch prefix to its default value

The default prefix is 39.00.00.00.00.00.00.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx where x is the MAC address of the switch master agent module.

To change the switch prefix for the M770 ATM Switch to its default value, use the address default command.

Command: M15-155s8:/>address default

Output: Done.

Note: You must reboot the switch before the above command will take affect. You must update all the other affected switches’ static routing table entries with the new switch prefix. If you are using PNNI routing then the affected routing entries will be updated automatically.

Viewing or changing the IP time server address

A time server is a server that provides the date and time, as specified by RFC 868, such as a UNIX machine running ‘timed’ to the M770 ATM Switch. You must provide the M770 ATM Switch with the IP address of a time server or set the M770 ATM Switch to discover the server on the network by broadcasting requests. To view the time received from the time server, use the system time command (refer to Chapter 17, “Managing System Commands” for details). To view the current time server, use the ip timeserver command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>ip timeserver

Output:

The M770 is requesting the time from a server at

 

192.16.1.14

 

The M770 will use the first time server that responds to a

 

broadcast request.

To set or change the time server, use the ip timeserver command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>ip timeserver [<address> discover]

Parameters:

<address>

This enables you to specify the IP address of the time server.

 

discover

This enables the M770 ATM Switch to discover the server by

 

 

broadcasting requests.
