hostname is:

•
stored in the MIB object sysName
Use the
no
variant of this command to revert the hostname setting to its default
(
awplus
).

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)#
