Command Mode
CONFIGURATION
Usage Information

The host name is used in the OS10 command-line prompt.

The MX7000 series switch, not the Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10, automatically sets the default hostname using a module-slot format. To calculate the hostname, the switch takes into account the module that is currently plugged into the MX7000 chassis and the slot in the chassis where the module is inserted. The module can be either MX9116n or MX5108n.

NOTE To make the switch automatically set the default hostname using the module-slot format, before upgrading to version 10.5.0, remove the user-defined hostname or set the default hostname using the no hostname command.

Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in Full-Switch mode starting in release 10.4.0(R3S). Also supported in SmartFabric Services mode starting in 10.5.0.

The no version of this command resets the host name to OS10.

Example 
OS10(config)# hostname R1
R1(config)#
Supported Releases
10.3.0E or later
