Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide

You can reset the saved switch prefix to current address. This prevents the current 
address from changing even after a reset.
To reset the saved switch prefix, use the

address reset

 command. 

The default prefix is 39.00.00.00.00.00.00.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx where x is the MAC 
address of the switch master agent module.

To change the switch prefix for the M770 ATM Switch to its default value, use the 

address default

 command.

You must reboot the switch before the above command will take affect. You 

must update all the other affected switches’ static routing table entries with the new 
switch prefix. If you are using PNNI routing then the affected routing entries will be 
updated automatically.

A time server is a server that provides the date and time, as specified by RFC 868, 
such as a UNIX machine running ‘timed’ to the M770 ATM Switch. You must 
provide the M770 ATM Switch with the IP address of a time server or set the M770 
ATM Switch to discover the server on the network by broadcasting requests. To 
view the time received from the time server, use the 

system time

 command (refer 

to Chapter 17, “Managing System Commands” for details). To view the current time 
server, use the

ip timeserver

 

command. 

To set or change the time server, use the 

ip timeserver

 

command. 

Command:

M15-155s8:/>address reset

Command:

M15-155s8:/>address default

Output:

Done.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>ip timeserver

Output:

The M770 is requesting the time from a server at 

192.16.1.14

The M770 will use the first time server that responds to a 

broadcast request.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>ip timeserver [<address> | discover]

Parameters:

<address>

This enables you to specify the IP address of the time server.

discover

This enables the M770 ATM Switch to discover the server by 
broadcasting requests.
