3. Record the new name for reference.
Setting the domain ID
Each switch in the fabric must have a unique domain ID. The domain ID can be manually set through the configure
command or can be automatically set. The default domain ID for the device is 1. Use the fabricShow command to view
the already assigned domain IDs.
1. Enter switchDisable to disable the device.
2. Enter configure.
3. Enter y at the Fabric parameters prompt:
Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
4. Enter a unique domain ID:
Domain: (1.239) [1] 3
5. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the settings and exit.
6. Enter switchEnable to re-enable the device.
Setting the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch
with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for logging,
error detection, and troubleshooting, they should be set correctly.
Setting the date
To set the date, follow these steps.
1. If necessary, log on to the device by Telnet, using the admin account.
The default password is password.
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
The values are:
•
mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
•
dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
•
HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
•
MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
•
yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970 through 1999, and
values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000 through 2069).
