Setting Local CPSW Parameters
The CPSW is preconfigured with default settings that may need to be changed before you can use the
switch. To modify these parameters, you must log on using the system administrator password. Then use
the SET command to change the values for any of the following:
Switch name
Service contact information
Console prompt
Console timeout value.
A brief description of each parameter is given in the following sections. For more detailed information, see
the
IBM 8265 Command Reference Guide.
Switch Name:
In order to simplify the command parameters you need to enter to perform certain
ATM tasks, you can assign a unique name to each 8265. You can then use this name instead of the IP
address to identify the 8265.
To set a unique name for the 8265, enter the SET DEVICE NAME command and press Enter.

set device name [8265 name]

Service Contact Information:
After installing the 8265 and logging on to the CPSW, you should
enter the location details and the name of the appropriate person to contact in case of a failure in the ATM
subsystem or with the 8265.
To do so, enter the following commands:
SET DEVICE LOCATION to specify where the 8265 is installed
SET DEVICE CONTACT to specify the name of the service personnel to contact.
Console Prompt:
IBM also recommends that you customize the prompt used by each CPSW
console. This helps you to easily recognize the CPSW to which you are connected when you are logged
on to a remote switch.
The default prompt is:
à
ð
8265ATM
>
á
ñ
Suggestion: To make it easier to recognize the CPSW by its command prompt, set the prompt to the
name of the CPSW used in the SET DEVICE NAME command. See the
IBM 8265 Command
Reference Guide for more information.
To customize the CPSW management prompt, use the SET TERMINAL PROMPT command.
