Default Configuration

system first time (except for the default hostname, which is Dell). You must configure the system using the CLI.

Configuring a Host Name

The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is Dell.
• Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.
• Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens.
To create a host name, use the following command.
• Create a host name.

address as well.
