config sim
Parameters commander – Use this parameter to configure the commander
switch(CS) for the following parameters:
group_name <groupname 64> - Used to update the name
of the group. Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 64
characters to rename the SIM group.
dp_interval <30-90> – The user may set the discovery
protocol interval, in seconds that the Switch will send out
discovery packets. Returning information to the CS will
include information about other switches connected to it.
(Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set the dp_interval from 30 to
90 seconds.
hold time <sec 100-300> – Using this parameter, the user
may set the time, in seconds, the CS will hold information
sent to it from other switches, utilizing the discovery interval
protocol. The user may set the hold time from 100 to 300
seconds.
candidate – Used to change the role of a CS (commander) to a
CaS (candidate).
dp_interval <30-90> – The user may set the discovery
protocol interval, in seconds that the Switch will send out
discovery packets. Returning information to the CS will
include information about other switches connected to it.
(Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set the dp_interval from 30 to
90 seconds.
hold time <100-300> – Using this parameter, the user may
set the time, in seconds, the Switch will hold information
sent to it from other switches, utilizing the discovery interval
protocol. The user may set the hold time from 100 to 300
seconds.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To change the time interval of the discovery protocol:
DES-3526:4# config sim commander dp_interval 30
Command: config sim commander dp_interval 30
Success.
DES-3526:4#
To change the hold time of the discovery protocol:
DES-3526:4# config sim commander hold_time 120
Command: config sim commander hold_time 120
Success.
DES-3526:4#
To transfer the CS (commander) to be a CaS (candidate):
DES-3526:4# config sim_role candidate
Command: config sim_role candidate
Success.
