Configuring System Information

Procedure

1. Run the sysname host-name command to set the name of the switch.

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] sysname Switch
   [Switch] undo sysname    //Restore the default host name.

2. Run the clock timezone command to set the location and time zone of the switch.

   [HUAWEI] clock timezone Beijing add 08:00:00
   [HUAWEI] quit

3. Run the clock datetime command to set the current time and date.

   <HUAWEI> clock datetime 08:00:00 2018-12-01 

4. Run the display clock command to view the current system date and clock.

   <HUAWEI> display clock
   2018-12-01 08:02:30+08:00                                                       
   Saturday                                                                        
   Time Zone(Beijing) : UTC+08:00 

5. Run the ip address command to set the management IP address of the switch. Run the ip route-static command to set the default gateway of the switch.

   • For a switch with the management interface, configure a management IP address for the management interface.

     <HUAWEI> system-view
     [HUAWEI] interface MEth 0/0/1
     [HUAWEI-MEth0/0/1] ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0    //Management IP address for the switch 
     [HUAWEI-MEth0/0/1] quit 
     [HUAWEI] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0 10.10.10.1    //Default gateway for the switch

   • For a switch without the management interface, configure a management IP address for a VLANIF interface.

     <HUAWEI> system-view
     [HUAWEI] interface Vlanif 10
     [HUAWEI-Vlanif10] ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0    //IP management IP address for the switch
     [HUAWEI-Vlanif10] quit 
     [HUAWEI] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0 10.10.10.1    //Default gateway for the switch

6. Run the display ip interface brief command to view brief information about the interface IP address. Run the display ip routing-table command to view IP routing information.

   [HUAWEI] display ip interface brief

7. Run the ssh user command to configure SSH user-related parameters. Run the local-user command to configure local user-related parameters. In this case, login to a switch through SSH is implemented.

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] user-interface vty 0 4
   [HUAWEI-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode aaa    //Set the authentication mode of the VTY user to AAA authentication.
   [HUAWEI-ui-vty0-4] protocol inbound ssh    //By default, the VTY UI supports SSH.
   [HUAWEI-ui-vty0-4] quit
   [HUAWEI] aaa
   [HUAWEI-aaa] local-user admin password irreversible-cipher admin@123    //Create a local user with the same user name as the SSH user and set a login password for the local user.
   [HUAWEI-aaa] local-user admin service-type ssh terminal    //Set a service type for the local user.
   [HUAWEI-aaa] local-user admin privilege level 15    //Set the local user privilege level.
   [HUAWEI-aaa] quit
   [HUAWEI] ssh user admin    //Create an SSH user.
   [HUAWEI] ssh user admin authentication-type password    //Set the authentication mode of the SSH user to password authentication.
   [HUAWEI] ssh user admin service-type stelnet    //Set a service type for the SSH user.
   [HUAWEI] stelnet server enable    //Enable the STelnet server function on the switch.

   Ensure that the name of the SSH user is the same as that of the local user.

   This section describes only how to use password authentication to implement login to a switch through STelnet. For more detailed operations about how to implement remote login through Telnet or STelnet, see Configuring Telnet Login or Configuring STelnet Login.

8. Run the display current-configuration command to view the current configuration of the switch.

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] display current-configuration | include ip
    ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
