2.3.3 Basic System Parameters
System Time
The network device system clock records the time of events on the device. For example, the time shown in system logs is
obtained from the system clock. Time is recorded in the format of year-month-day, hour:minute:second, day of the week.
When you use a network device for the first time, set its system clock to the current date and time manually.
Configuring a System Name and Command Prompt
You can configure a system name to identify a network device. The default system name is Ruijie. A name with more than
32 characters will be truncated to keep only the first 32 characters. The command prompt keeps consistent with the system
name.
Banner
A banner is used to display login prompt information. There are two types of banner: Daily notification and login banner.
Daily notification is displayed on all terminals connected to network devices soon after login. Urgent messages (such as
immediate system shutdown) can be delivered to users through daily notification.
A login banner appears after daily notification to display login information.
Configuring the Console Baud Rate
You can manage network device through a Console port The first configuration on the network device must be performed
through the Console port. The serial port baud rate can be changed based on actual requirements. Note that the
management terminal must have consistent baud rate setting with the device console.
Configuring the Connection Timeout Time
The connection timeout time is used to control device connections (including established connections and sessions
established to remote hosts). A connection will be closed when no input is detected during the timeout time.
