name

This command sets an identifier for the appliance.

Syntax

name identifier

Parameters

identifier
Specifies the unique identifier.

  • The name can contain a maximum of 127 ASCII alphanumeric characters and the following special characters: . - _

  • The recommended length is up to 64 characters for compatibility with some remote systems.

  • Some protocols do not support spaces. If the name contains spaces, enclose in double quotation marks.

Guidelines

The name command specifies the system identifier of the appliance.

You should not specify a name that consists of only numbers.

Renaming appliances that belong to a high availability or disaster recovery configuration will prevent either from operating. See Changing appliance names in high availability configurations and Changing appliance names in disaster recovery configurations.

When the custom user interface file defines the command-line extension, this identifier is added before the prompt.

Specify no name to clear a previously set name.

Examples

  • Set Duluth as the identifier. 
    # name Duluth
  • Set Tango Lake as the identifier. 
    # name "Tango Lake"
  • Clear a previously set name: 
    # no name
