Changing the system name

The system command sets the name of the device and is used in the prompt string. Only one system name can be configured. If multiple system names are configured, the last one configured overwrites the previous entry.

Use the following syntax to change the system name.

config# system
    name system-name

Example: Command usage to change the system name

A:ALA-A>config>system# name tgif
    A:TGIF>config>system# 

Example: System name change output

A:ALA-A>config>system# name TGIF
A:TGIF>config>system# info
