Default System Parameters

Parameter Description Default Value
IP Gratuitious ARP Provides an ARP announcement packet containing valid sender hardware and protocol addresses for the host that sent it. disabled
System Utilization Threshold Sets the threshold for sending CPU utilization notification messages. 800 (80%)
MTU Sets the path MTU discovery protocol on the device. enabled

You must configure your S- K- or 7100-Series device with an IP interface and an IP address. You can also configure other system properties on the S- K- or 7100-Series device. See System Properties Configuration.

System Properties Configuration

Task Command
Set IP interfaces. You may specify an IP interface as the default management IP interface. set ip interface interface-name [default]
Set the system IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.

If not specified, ip-mask will be set to the natural mask of the ip-address and ip-gateway will be set to the ip-address. If not specified, the first IP interface configured on a system becomes the default IP interface.

set ip address ip_address [mask ip_mask] [gateway ip_gateway] [interface interface-name]
Control the gratuitous ARP processing behavior.

By default, gratuitous ARP is disabled.

set ip gratuitous-arp [request | reply | both]
Set the threshold for sending CPU utilization notification messages.

A value of 0 will disable utilization notification messages.

set system utilization threshold threshold
Change the time of day on the system clock. set time [mm/dd/yyyy] [hh:mm:ss]
Enable or disable the daylight savings time function. set summertime {enable | disable} [zone]
Configure one of the following:
  • Specific dates to start and stop daylight savings time.

    These settings will be non-recurring and will have to be reset annually

  • Recurring daylight savings time settings.

    These settings will start and stop daylight savings time at the specified day of the month and hour each year and will not have to be reset annually.

set summertime date start_month start_date start_year start_hr_min end_month end_date end_year end_hr_min [offset_minutes]

set summertime recurring start_week start_day start_month start_hr_min end_week end_day end_month end_hr_min [offset_minutes]

(Optional) Configure a name for the system.

A name string containing a space in the text must be enclosed in quotes as shown in the example below.

If string is not specified, the system name will be cleared.

set system name [string]
(Optional) Identify the location of the system.

A location string containing a space in the text must be enclosed in quotes as shown in the example below.

If string is not specified, the location name will be cleared.

set system location [string]
(Optional) Identify a contact person for the system.

A contact string containing a space in the text must be enclosed in quotes as shown in the example below.

If string is not specified, the contact name will be cleared.

set system contact [string]
(S-, K-Series) Set the alias, a text name, for a physical object.

If string is not specified, the specified alias will be cleared.

set physical alias {[chassis] | [backplane backplane] | [slot slot] | [module module] | sub-module slot module | [powersupply powersupply] | [powersupply-slot powersupply-slot] | [poe-powersupply poe-powersupply] | [fan fantray] | [fan-slot fantray] | [port port-string]} [string]
(7100-Series) Set the alias, a text name, for a physical object.

If string is not specified, the specified alias will be cleared.

set physical alias {[chassis] | [module module] | [powersupply powersupply] | [powersupply-slot powersupply-slot] | [poe-powersupply poe-powersupply] | [fan fantray] | [fan-slot fantray] | [port port-string]} [string]
Set the asset ID for a physical object. set physical assetid {[chassis] | [module module] | [powersupply powersupply] | [poe-powersupply poe-powersupply] | [fan fantray]} string
Disable or re-enable path MTU discovery protocol on the device. set mtu {enable | disable}
