Change Server Hostname

You can change the default server hostname (aos-server).

To change the server hostname using the GUI:

  1. SSH into the server as user admin (ssh admin@<server-ip> where <server-ip> is the IP address of the server.)
  2. As root user, run the command aos_hostname <hostname> where <hostname> is the new hostname.
The next time you log in the the new hostname will display.
Note:

Do not use /etc/hostname to change the server hostname. With this method, if you configure syslog to be forwarded to an external server, the default hostname will be entered into the log instead of the new one.
