Verifying the configuration
Use these steps to confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use.
1.
Check LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns,
refer to
"Interpreting LED
2.
Enter the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides
information about the switch and port status.
3.
Enter the fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides general
information about the fabric.
Backing up the configuration
HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available.
Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by entering the configupload command
and following the prompts. This command uploads the switch configuration to the server,
making it available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary.
Setting the switch date and time
The date and time switch settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not
depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions
properly.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary Fabric Configuration Server
(FCS) switch to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Use these steps to set the date and time of a switch
1.
Log in to the switch as admin.
2.
Type the date command at the CLI prompt using the following syntax:
date "MMDDhhmm[CC]YY"
The values represent the following:
• MM is the month (01-12).
• DD is the date (01-31).
• hh is the hour (00-23).
• mm is minutes (00-59).
• CC is the century (19-20).
