Configuring a System Name
Use the system command to configure a name for the device. The name is used in the prompt

If special characters are included in the system name string, such as spaces, #, or ?, the entire
string must be enclosed in double quotes. Use the following CLI syntax to configure the
system name:
CLI Syntax: config# system
