Configuring a Unique Host Name on the System

While you can manually configure a host name for the system, you can also configure the system to have a unique host name. The unique host name is a combination of the platform type and the serial number of the system. The unique host name appears in the command prompt. The running configuration gets updated with the feature unique-name command. It also overwrites any existing host name configured on the system using the hostname command.

To create a unique host name, use the following command.

Create a unique host name. CONFIGURATION mode feature unique-name

Example of the feature unique-name Command 

Dell(conf)#feature unique-name 
                                 FN2210STW000000000022(conf)#
                              
FN2210STW000000000022(conf)#no feature unique-name 
                                 Dell(conf)#
