hgibp enable|disable
Enables or disables Higig Ingress Back Pressure (IBP) flow control mode. The default value is
disabled. If you change the flow-control mode, you must apply and save the changes, then
reboot the switch before the change takes effect.
The GbE switch module has two switching chips connected by an internal high-capacity link
(Higig). Over subscription of traffic across the Higig link is handled by one of the following flow
control modes:
End-to-End (E2E) Flow Control
Ingress Back Pressure (IBP) across the Higig link
One of the modes should be enabled, and the other mode disabled. Applications that cannot toler-
ate packet loss might require IBP across the Higig link. Higig IPB achieves lossless operation, but
it might result in a lower throughput.
bannr <string, maximum 80 characters>
Configures a login banner of up to 80 characters. When a user or administrator logs into the switch,
the login banner is displayed. It is also displayed as part of the output from the /info/sys com-
mand.
hprompt disable|enable
Enables or disables displaying of the host name (system administrator’s name) in the Command
Line Interface (CLI).
reminders disable|enable
Enables or disables reminder messages in the CLI. The default value is enabled.
cur
