You must have an administrator-level account to change the text of the prompt. The prompt text is taken from the SNMP sysname setting.
The number that follows the period after the switch name indicates the sequential line of the specific command or line for this CLI session.
If an asterisk (*) appears in front of the command line prompt, it indicates that you have outstanding configuration changes that have not been saved.
For example: * BD-1.19 #
If you have logged on with administrator capabilities, the command line prompt ends with a (#) sign.
For example: BD-1.18 #
If you have logged on with user capabilities, the command line prompt ends with a (>) sign.
For example: BD-1.2 >
Using the system recovery commands (refer to Getting Started for information on system recovery), you can configure either one or more specified slots on a modular switch or the entire stand-alone switch to shut down in case of an error. If you have configured this feature and a hardware error is detected, the system displays an explanatory message on the startup screen. The message is slightly different, depending on whether you are working on a modular switch or a stand-alone switch.
The following sample shows the startup screen if any of the slots in a modular switch are shut down as a result of the system recovery:

When an exclamation point (!) appears in front of the command line prompt, it indicates that one or more slots or the entire stand-alone switch are shut down as a result of your system recovery configuration and a switch error. (Refer to Setting the System Recovery Level and Understanding the System Health Checker for complete information on system recovery and system health check features.)
The following sample shows the startup screen if a stand-alone switch is shut down as a result of the system recovery configuration:
