SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND MONITORING COMMANDS
HOSTNAME
hostname
Overview This command sets the name applied to the device as shown at the prompt. The
hostname is:
• displayed in the output of the show system command
• displayed in the CLI prompt so you know which device you are configuring
• stored in the MIB object sysName
Use the no variant of this command to revert the hostname setting to its default
(awplus).
Syntax
hostname <hostname>
no hostname [<hostname>]
Default awplus
Mode Global Configuration
Usage The name must also follow the rules for ARPANET host names. The name must start
with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and use only letters, digits, and hyphens.
Refer to RFC 1035.
NOTE: Within an AMF network, any device without a hostname applied will
automatically be assigned a name based on its MAC address.
To efficiently manage your network using AMF, we strongly advise that you devise a
naming convention for your network devices and accordingly apply an appropriate
hostname to each device.
Example To set the system name to HQ-Sales, use the command:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# hostname HQ-Sales
This changes the prompt to:
HQ-Sales(config)#
To revert to the default hostname awplus, use the command:
HQ-Sales(config)# no hostname
This changes the prompt to:
awplus(config)#
Parameter Description
<hostname> Specifies the name given to a specific device. Also referred to as the
Node Name in AMF output screens.
