NETCONFIG : Update Hostname

[drew.salmon]

I would like to update the hostname on 175 devices to match the device name that displays in CiscoWorks. Is there an easy way to do this? If so, how?

Thanks!

Thank you Joe.

So this appears to be a static file that I would have to manually generate, like this:

68109.ROUTER

And so on, for all 175 devices I want to change?

There is not a way to declare values and call those values via a script? Or maybe something like set hostname = device name?

If not, the above method is better than logging into each device and manually setting the hostname.

Thank you!

This parameter file must be created manually. There is no existing automatic method to do this. However, you could script its creation.
