external NTP server:
1. Log on as admin.
2. Enter the tsClockServer [ipaddr] command.
The ipaddr variable represents the IP address of the NTP server that the device can access. This variable is
optional; by default, the value is LOCL .
switch:admin> tsclockserver 192.0.2.0

Customizing the Chassis Name and Switch Name
Changing the chassis and switch names is important for uniquely distinguishing and identifying the device and for
accurate tracking of logs and errors. The messages that appear in the log are labeled with the switch name or chassis
name, which makes tracking the errors much easier. Specify an easily understandable and meaningful name for the
chassis and switch.
Perform the following steps to change the chassis name and then the switch name:
1. Log on to the device through Telnet using the admin account.
2. Change the chassis name by using the chassisName command.
device:admin> chassisname Chassis_001
3. Change the switch name by using the switchName command.
device:admin> switchname Switch_001
