Setting and displaying the host name

2. If Telnet is not activated on the switch, enter the no telnet server disable command to activate
Telnet.
3. Enter the switch-attributes command, followed by a question mark (?) to determine the local

6. Save the configuration changes by using the do copy running-config startup-config command.
NOTE
This step is used for switches in standalone mode or fabric cluster mode only. If you are using logical
chassis cluster mode, startup configurations are not maintained by the cluster; each node preserves
its running configuration. For more information about logical chassis cluster mode, refer to
Logical
chassis cluster mode on page 55.
7. Verify the configuration with the do show running-config switch-attributes rbridge-id command.
switch# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
switch(config)# no telnet server disable
switch(config)# switch-attributes ?
Possible completions: Specify the rbridge-id 1
switch(config)# switch-attributes 1
switch(config-switch-attributes-1)# host-name lab1_vdx0023
switch(config-switch-attributes-1)# exit
switch(config)# do copy running-config startup-config
switch(config)# do show running-config switch-attributes 1
switch-attributes 1
chassis-name VDX 6720-24
