[. . . ] OmniSwitch 6600 Family Getting Started Guide ® 060178-10, Rev. Only personnel knowledgeable in basic electrical and mechanical procedures should install or maintain this equipment. There is a danger of explosion if the Lithium battery in your chassis is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type of battery recommended by the manufacturer. [. . . ] For example: -> system contact "JSmith js@company. com" -> system name EngSwitch3 Specifying the Switch's Location It is recommended that you use a physical labeling system for locating and identifying your switch(es). Examples include placing a sticker or placard with a unique identifier (e. g. , the switch's default IP address) on each chassis. However, if no labeling system has been implemented or if you need to determine a switch's location from a remote site, entering a system location can be very useful. To specify a system location, enter system location, followed by a text description of up to 254 characters. If you include spaces between words in the text string, be sure to enclose the string in quotes (""). For example: -> system location "NMS Lab--NE Rack" March 2005 Your First Login Session 37 Viewing Your Changes To view your current changes, enter show system at the CLI prompt. Modifying the Serial Connection Settings The switch's serial connection defaults are listed on page 22. If you wish to modify the default serial connection settings (i. e. , baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits), refer to the following steps. You must be connected to the switch via the console port before attempting to change serial connection settings. Otherwise, an error message will display. For switches in a stacked configuration, all changes must be configured before the switches are cabled together. In other words, you must configure these settings when each switch is operating as a stand-alone unit. 1 Enter modify boot parameters at the CLI prompt. The Saving Your Changes Once you have configured this basic switch information, save your changes by entering write memory at the CLI command prompt. When the write memory command is entered, changes are automatically saved to the main configuration file (boot. cfg) and placed in the /flash/working directory. For more information on the boot. cfg file, refer to page 48. If the switch reboots following a write memory command entry, the switch will run from the /flash/certified directory. As a result, subsequent configuration changes cannot be saved using the write memory command until the switch is once again running from the /flash/working directory. See page 51 for important information on these directories. boot prompt displays: Boot > 2 To change the baud rate, enter boot serialbaudrate, followed by the desired baud rate value. Options include 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, and 115200. For example: Boot > boot serialbaudrate 19200 Note. Setting the console port to speeds above 9600 baud can cause problems with Zmodem uploads. 38 Your First Login Session March 2005 3 To change the parity value, enter boot serialparity, followed by the desired parity value. Options include none (default), even, and odd. For example: Boot > boot serialparity even 7 You can save your changes to the boot. params file by entering commit file at the boot prompt: Boot > commit file 4 To change the data bits (i. e. , word size) value, enter When the commit file command is used, changes will not be enabled until after the next switch reboot. 8 You can also save your changes in real time to the boot serialwordsize, followed by the number of data bits.
