Default Configuration
No host name is configured.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The hostname, if configured, is advertised in the LLDP system-name TLV.
The hostname may include any printable characters except a question mark.
Enclose the string in double quotes to include spaces within the name. The
surrounding quotes are not used as part of the name. The CLI does not filter
illegal characters and may truncate entries at the first illegal character or
reject the entry entirely.
Example
The following example specifies the switch host name.
console(config)# hostname Dell
initiate failover
To manually force a failover from the management unit to the backup unit in
a stack, use the initiate failover command in Stack Configuration mode.
The initiate failover command checks for stack port errors and NSF
synchronization prior to initiating failover. If stack port errors are found, or if
the NSF status is not synchronized, a message is displayed and the user is
prompted to continue or abort the operation (see example, below).
Syntax
