Table B-69 hostname Command Argument Description

Argument

Description

name

Name you assign to the system.

 

 

Command Modes: Global-configuration mode.

Privilege Level: Unrestricted read-write user.

Usage Guidelines: The hostname is used as part of the contact information and as the CLI prompt. It is also the system network-name. The assigned hostname may be used to establish DNS connections to the chassis. The name you enter must adhere to standard IP networking rules.

This command changes the CLI prompt. The new hostname is applied immediately, however, the prompt does not change until you change modes. For example, the prompt changes when you exit the global-configuration mode.

Examples:

HP-IB(config)# hostname samplename HP-IB(config)# exit samplename# config

Defaults: This command has no defaults.

install

Synopsis: The install command installs a downloaded system-image to the appropriate locations. The administrator must then specify which system-image to use to boot the chassis, and reload the chassis.

Syntax: install image:file
