Example
The following example, shows how to configure the hostname for the router:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# hostname new_name
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Apr 7 00:07:33.246 : config[65669]: %LIBTARCFG-6-COMMIT : Configu
ration committed by user 'user_a'. Use 'show commit changes 1000000067' to view t
he changes.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:new_name(config)#
Note No blanks or spaces are permitted as part of a name. Do not expect case to be preserved. Upper- and
lowercase characters look the same to many Internet software applications. It may seem appropriate to
capitalize a name the same way you might if you were writing, but conventions dictate that computer
names appear all lowercase. For more information, refer to RFC 1178, Choosing a Name for Your
Computer.
Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface
The Management Ethernet (MgmtEth) interface on the Route Processors (RPs) is used to connect the
router to a network for remote management using a Telnet client, the Craft Works Interface (CWI), the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or other management agents. The following sections
provide information on the Management Ethernet interface:
• “Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface in CLI Commands”
• “Displaying the Available Management Ethernet Instance”
• “Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface”
Specifying the Management Ethernet Interface in CLI Commands
To configure the Management Ethernet interface, you must enter the interface configuration mode, and
identify the location of the Management Ethernet interface instance, where instance is defined as type
rack/slot/module/port. Table 5-1 describes the instance syntax.
Table 5-1 Instance Syntax Description
Syntax Components Description
type Interface type for a Management Ethernet port is “MgmtEth.”
rack Chassis number of the rack. In a single-chassis system, the rack is
always “0.”
