Chapter 7: System administration procedures

Purpose

Use the procedures in this chapter as reference for provisioning optional system administration parameters from the System View Administration menu.

This chapter includes procedures used to:

Change NE Login Banner
Set Date and Time
Set TID (system name)
Set NE defaults (FTP, AGNE, remote NE status)

Depending on local procedures, types of configurations, and shelf equipage, some of the optional parameters may need to be set. It is assumed that local system administration is responsible for determining these parameter settings. Some of the parameter values may be set during the initial shelf turn-up. Other parameter values may be set after the system is integrated into the network configuration.
