HOSTNAME

hostname
Overview This command sets the name applied to the device as shown at the prompt. The
hostname is:
•
•
•
On a stack, after the stack master is elected, the master will have a host name:
awplus by default, and this also becomes the name of the stack. Individual stack
members (excluding the master) will have a host name that is the stack name
hyphenated with a numeric suffix. For example, awplus-1, awplus-2 and so
on.
The hostname command can then be used to change the stack name and the stack
master's host name. For example, for the hostname Lab the stack master's host
name will be Lab and the other stack members will have host names Lab-1,
Lab-2 and so on.
In case of stack master fail-over, or stack split, the new stack will use the previous
stack name as its host name and the stack name, unless it is changed by executing
the hostname command on the new stack master.
Use the no variant of this command to revert the hostname setting to its default
(awplus).
Syntax
