How To

When taking into consideration that default settings are invisible in a configuration file, it is a good information that Huawei’s S3700/S5700 switches have such possibility to display default settings for ethernet interfaces. The ‘display this include-default’ command displays the effective configurations in the current view, including the unchanged default configurations.

[labnario-Ethernet0/0/1]display this include-default

 undo set flow-stat interval
 undo qinq vlan-translation enable

Sometimes we can meet such situation on a router or a switch:

 [labnario]display users
  User-Intf    Delay    Type   Network Address     AuthenStatus    AuthorcmdFlag
+ 34  VTY 0   00:00:00  TEL    172.29.12.226             pass           no      Username : huawei
  35  VTY 1   00:08:01  TEL    172.29.12.226             pass           no      Username : labnario
  36  VTY 2   00:07:38  TEL    172.29.12.226             pass           no      Username : killer
  37  VTY 3   00:07:00  TEL    172.29.12.226             pass           no      Username : killer
  38  VTY 4   00:01:34  TEL    172.29.12.226             pass           no      Username : labnario

By default, on Huawei device, there are 5 vty lines available. If all these lines are occupied by users, no other user is able to access the device. Such situation can appear in 2 cases:

1. The device is fully occupied by telnet users.
2. All telnet sessions are hang.

The first case is normal and it can often happen. Sessions will be deleted when users log out from the device or their sessions’ idle-timeout expires. By default idle-timeout is set to 10 minutes.

24 – the default number of lines on one screen

In this post I will show you how to disable a notification record which appears always after you type a configuration command. This notification causes your frustration when you want to configure anything on this switch and suddenly you see the following record:

[labnario]interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
[labnario-GigabitEthernet0/0/1]
Jan  1 2008 00:24:47+01:00 labnario DS/4/DATASYNC_CFGCHANGE:OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.191.3.1 configurations have been changed. The current change number is 24, the change loop count is 0, and the maximum number of records is 4095.

You have such situation on Huawei S2300, S3300 and S5300 switches if you are logged by the console.

How to cope with it?

You have two ways to do this. The first is to disable it temporarily by the following commands:

<labnario>undo terminal monitor

or

<labnario>undo terminal trapping
