Adding a Name to the Switch
The switch will be easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch
displays its name in the command line prompt, in place of the default
prefix “awplus.”
To assign the switch a name, use the HOSTNAME command in the Global
Configuration mode. A name can consist of up to 39 alphanumeric
characters. Spaces, punctuation, special characters, and quotation marks
are not permitted.
This example assigns the name Switch12 to the switch:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# hostname Switch12
Switch12(config)#
To remove the current name without assigning a new name, use the NO
HOSTNAME command:
Unit2b_bld4> enable
Unit2b_bld4# configure terminal
Unit2b_bld4(config)# no hostname
awplus(config)#
For reference information, refer to “HOSTNAME” on page 145 and “NO
HOSTNAME” on page 148.
