API Guide

Usage
Information
The host name is used in the OS10 command-line prompt.
The MX7000 series switch, not the Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10, automatically sets the default hostname
using a module-slot format. To calculate the hostname, the switch takes into account the module that is
currently plugged into the MX7000 chassis and the slot in the chassis where the module is inserted. The
module can be either MX9116n or MX5108n.
NOTE: To make the switch automatically set the default hostname using the module-slot format,
before upgrading to version 10.5.0, remove the user-defined hostname or set the default hostname
using the no hostname command.
Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in Full-Switch mode starting in release 10.4.0(R3S).
Also supported in SmartFabric Services mode starting in 10.5.0.
The no version of this command resets the host name to OS10.
Example
OS10(config)# hostname R1
