Managing the device Device management includes monitoring the operating status of devices and configuring their running parameters. The configuration tasks in this document are order independent. You can perform these tasks in any order. Configuring the device name A device name identifies a device in a network and works as the user view prompt at the CLI. For example, if the device name is Sysname, the user view prompt is . To configure the device name: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Configure the device name. Command system-view sysname sysname Remarks N/A The default device name is HP. Changing the system time You must synchronize your device with a trusted time source by using NTP or changing the system time before you run it on the network. Network management depends on an accurate system time setting, because the timestamps of system messages and logs use the system time. For NTP configuration, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide. In a small-sized network, you can manually set the system time of each device. Configuration guidelines You can change the system time by configuring the relative time, time zone, and daylight saving time. The configuration result depends on their configuration order (see Table 19). In the first column of this table, 1 represents the clock datetime command, 2 represents the clock timezone command, and 3 represents the clock summer-time command. To verify the system time setting, use the display clock command. This table assumes that the original system time is 2005/1/1 1:00:00.

Managing the device
Device management includes monitoring the operating status of devices and configuring their running
parameters.
The configuration tasks in this document are order independent. You can perform these tasks in any
order.
Configuring the device name
A device name identifies a device in a network and works as the user view prompt at the CLI. For
example, if the device name is
Sysname
, the user view prompt is <Sysname>.
To configure the device name:
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

N/A
2.
Configure the device name.

The default device name is

.
Changing the system time
You must synchronize your device with a trusted time source by using NTP or changing the system time
before you run it on the network. Network management depends on an accurate system time setting,
because the timestamps of system messages and logs use the system time. For NTP configuration, see
Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide
.
In a small-sized network, you can manually set the system time of each device.
Configuration guidelines
You can change the system time by configuring the relative time, time zone, and daylight saving time. The
configuration result depends on their configuration order (see
Table 19
). In the first column of this table,
1 represents the
clock datetime
command, 2 represents the
clock timezone
command, and 3 represents
the
clock summer-time
command. To verify the system time setting, use the
display clock
command. This
table assumes that the original system time is 2005/1/1 1:00:00.
