Hostname appears different on IOS router

DuBu
Level 1
Level 1

Hi

We have 2  8300 series routers at a given location.

1. Router 1 -- ABC

2. Router 2 -- XYZ

When I ssh to router "ABC" using hostname it displays the prompt as -- "XYZ" >

When I check the running config in this scenario, the hostname mentioned shows "XYZ".

However , when i ssh to "ABC" using its ip address it displays the correct prompt -- "ABC" >

When I check the running config, the hostname displays "ABC" which is correct.

I wanted to understand the difference in behavior when trying to ssh using Hostname vs when ssh using IP address
