How can you set the host name on a Cisco Catalyst switch?

What will be an ideal response?


The actual task of setting the host name on the Cisco Catalyst switch is identical to setting the host name on a Cisco router. As with the router, the host name is only locally significant-that is, the function of the name is to identify the switch, not to provide any sort of Internet name resolution. It is best to select a name that clearly identifies the location of the switch. For example, if you worked for a company named HudLogic, Inc. and its switch was on the fourth floor of Room 410, you might name the switch Rm410HL. To configure this name, you would type:
Switch(config)#hostname Rm410HL

Once the host name is set, the prompt will change to reflect the name of the switch. Continuing our example, the prompt would change to:
Rm410HL(config)#
