hostname
Use this command to set the network name for the device. OcNOS uses this name in system prompts and default configuration filenames.
Setting a host name using this command also sets the host name in the kernel.
Note: After giving the
hostname command, you must write to memory using the
terminal monitor command. If you do not write to memory, the change made by this command (the new host name) is not set after the device reboots.
Use the no parameter to disable this function.
