Configuring the System Prompt
The uic submenu is listed under the system menu. The uic submenu allows you to change the
system prompt. The prompt can be made up of literal information, system variable informa-
tion, or a combination of the two.
Literal information means that the prompt will reflect exactly what you type at the
uic
submenu. For example, Marketing 1 or Enter command:.
System variable information means that the prompt will reflect the switch’s variable informa-
tion, such as the current menu-path or the system name. Use
$Menu-Path (case sensitive) to
have the system prompt display the current menu-path name. Use $SysName to have the
system prompt display the system name.
You can also mix variables and literals such as
$Menu-Path -> or $SysName Enter command:.
