Alcatel Unleashed

Hi.

I am new to alcatel os6450 switch cli commands. I would like to know how to turn off/remove the "date and time" in front of "system name" in session prompt when log into the switch using console cable.

ex:

01/01/01 02:20:01SWITCHNAME

How do I remove the date and time in bold

Thanks in advance for any help....

Hi,

you can edit the prompt with the "session prompt default" command. So for example if you only want the switchname displayed you would type: session prompt default "switchname->" The -> is only in there so you have the arrow behind the switchname. The change will only be seen at next login. Don't forget to save your changes with write memory flash-synchro.

Thank you for the reply. I have entered the "session prompt default "SWITCHNAME->" command many times, but still the time and date appears when I log into the switch via console or ssh. Could I have activated som timestamp feature on the switch?

I've looked in the system documentation and aside from the session prompt default there is also a "prompt" command. With that there is an option to activate a timestamp. The command to disable it is simply "no prompt"
