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