Nexus 4000 query

Hi,

Are you able to advise what has to be done to change a hostname?

I made a mistake entering the hostname and I can't rectified it.  It came up with error "String failed to match token pattern at '^" marker".

I did removed the entire config (write erase) and try again but that didn't help.

Here is what we have

Hardware

  cisco Nexus 4000 Chassis ("20x10GE/supervisor")Hardware
  cisco Nexus 4000 Chassis ("20x10GE/supervisor")

system:    version 4.1(2)E1(1f)

TIA

Hi,

does your hostname has special charecters ?

Hi,

No.  It is in this format

1aa-b222-cc3

We use the same format on the Nexus 5548 without any problem.

Thanks.

Hello PF,

I am stuck with the exact same issue.

Were you able to solve it?

Thanks

Hi,

My problem was I start the hostname with a numeric. ie. 2TP-... As long as the hostname starts with a letter ie. TP2... it is fine.

Thanks.
