Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Use this command without an operand to display the current switch name. All switches have a symbolic name that is primarily used for switch management. This name is also shown in the telnet prompt, under each switch icon on the Web Tools Fabric View, and in the output of many telnet commands, such as fabricshow. Enter this command with no operand to display the current switch name. Use this command with the newName operand to assign a new switch name. Switch names can be up to 15 characters long, must begin with an alpha character, and can consist of a combination of alpha, numeric, and underscore characters. Changing the switch name causes a domain address format RSCN to be issued (see FC-FLA for a description of RSCNs). The switch's name may also be changed using Web Tools. Operands This command has the following operand: newName Specify a new name for the switch, in quotation marks. This operand is optional. 814 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
