Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.

Step 2 Enter a host name for the switch, and press Return.
On a command switch, the host name is limited to 28 characters; on a member switch to 31 characters.
Do not use -n, where n is a number, as the last character in a host name for any switch.
Enter host name [Switch]: host_name

The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive,
