Usage Within an AMF network, any device without a user-defined hostname 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 apply an appropriate
hostname to each device.
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.
To set the system name to HQ-Sales, use the command:
Example
awplus#
awplus(config)#

HQ-Sales(config)#
