Usage Guidelines
Use the
no form of the command to reset the default settings.
We recommend that you customize the chassis name
for each device. Some system logs identify the device by its chassis name; if you
assign a meaningful chassis name, logs are more useful.
Examples
The following example configures the chassis and host names.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# switch-attributes chassis-name SLX-market1
device(config)# switch-attributes host-name SLX-mrkt
SLX-mrkt(config)#
