Chapter 5 Administering the Bridge Configuring a System Name and Prompt Configuring a System Name and Prompt You configure the system name on the bridge to identify it. By default, the system name and prompt are bridge. If you have not configured a system prompt, the first 20 characters of the system name are used as the system prompt. A greater-than symbol (>) is appended. The prompt is updated whenever the system name changes, unless you manually configure the prompt by using the prompt global configuration command.
