SMC Networks 16 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX manual Resetting the System, Setting the System Clock

Basic Configuration 3

CLI – This example shows that system logging is enabled, the message level for flash memory is “errors” (i.e., default level 3 - 0), the message level for RAM is “debugging” (i.e., default level 7 - 0), and lists one sample error.

Console#show logging flash		4-63
Syslog logging: Enable
History logging	in FLASH: level errors
[0] 0:0:5 1/1/1	"PRI_MGR_InitDefault function fails."
level: 3, module: 13, function: 0, and event no.: 0		4-63
Console#show logging ram
Syslog logging: Enable
History logging	in RAM: level debugging
[0] 0:0:5 1/1/1	PRI_MGR_InitDefault function fails."

level: 3, module: 13, function: 0, and event no.: 0 Console#

Resetting the System

Web – Click System, Reset to reboot the switch. When prompted, confirm that you want reset the switch.

Figure 3-18. Resetting the System

Console#reload 4-22

System will be restarted, continue <y/n>? y

Console#

Note: When restarting the system, it will always run the Power-On Self-Test.

Setting the System Clock

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an accurate time on the switch enables the system log to record meaningful dates and times for event entries. You can also manually set the clock using the CLI. (See “calendar set” on page 4-53.)If the clock is not set, the switch will only record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.

When the SNTP client is enabled, the switch periodically sends a request for a time update to a configured time server. You can configure up to three time server IP addresses. The switch will attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.
