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. To configure the system name:

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

The following example shows the system name output:

A:ALA-A>config>system# info
#------------------------------------------
# System Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        name "ALA-A"
        location "Mt.View, CA, NE corner of FERG 1 Building"
        coordinates "37.390, -122.05500 degrees lat."
        snmp
        exit
