Performing basic configuration tasks

Passwords can be from 8 to 40 characters long and must begin with an alphabetic character. They

can include numerals, the dot (.), and the underscore (_). They are case sensitive, and they are not

displayed when you enter them on the command line. You cannot reuse the default passwords.

NOTE:

Record the passwords exactly as entered and store them in a secure place; recovering

passwords requires significant effort and fabric downtime.

Example:

Setting the date and time

Switches maintain the current date and time in nonvolatile memory. Date and time 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. However, because the date and time are used for logging, you should set

them correctly.

NOTE:

The

date

and

tsclockserver

commands are disabled when the security feature is enabled.

With security enabled you can view the current date setting only on the primary FCS switch.
