Configuring a system name

Use the system command to configure a name for the device. The name 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.

If special characters are included in the system name string, such as spaces, #, or ?, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Use the following syntax to configure the system name.

config# system
    name system-name

Example

config# system
    config>system# name ALA-A
    ALA-A>config>system# exit all
    ALA-A#

Example

The following is a sample system name configuration output.

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

        name "ALA-A"
        location "Mt.View, CA, NE corner of FERG 1 Building"

        snmp
        exit
        . . . 
        exit
