Switch Names
Switches can be identified by IP address, Domain ID, WWN, or customized
switch name.
Changing a Switch Name
To change the name of a switch:
1. Log into the switch as the admin user.
2. Enter the switchname command at the command line, using the following
syntax:
switchname “newname”
Where newname is the new name for the switch. Switch names can be up to 19
characters in length, must begin with a letter, and can contain letters, numbers, or
the underscore character.
Note: This command is disabled when the security feature is enabled. With security
enabled, you can only view the current setting unless it is run on the Primary Fabric
Configuration Server (FCS) switch.
Quotation marks must be used to identify the new name.
Example:
switch:admin> switchname "switch62"
Committing configuration...
Done.
switch62:admin>
