Change Apstra Server Hostname

You have the option of changing the default Apstra server hostname (aos-server).

To change the Apstra server hostname:

  1. SSH into the Apstra server as user admin (ssh admin@<apstra-server-ip> where <apstra-server-ip> is the IP address of the Apstra server.)
  2. As root user, run the command aos_hostname <hostname> where <hostname> is the new hostname.
The new hostname will display the next time you log in.
Note: Avoid using /etc/hostname to change the Apstra server hostname. This method causes syslog to log the default hostname instead of the new one when forwarded to an external server.
