Chapter 4 Setting Up the Sensor
Changing Network Settings
Changing the Hostname
Note The CLI prompt of the current session and other existing sessions will not be updated with the new
hostname. Subsequent CLI login sessions will reflect the new hostname in the prompt.
Use the host-name host_name command in the service host submode to change the hostname of the
sensor after you have run the setup command. The default is sensor. To change the sensor hostname,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the sensor using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2 Enter network settings submode.
sensor# configure terminal
sensor(config)# service host
sensor(config-hos)# network-settings
Step 3 Change the sensor hostname.
sensor(config-hos-net)# host-name firesafe
Step 4 Verify the new hostname.
sensor(config-hos-net)# show settings
network-settings

Step 5 To change the hostname back to the default setting, use the default form of the command.
sensor(config-hos-net)# default host-name
Step 6 Verify the change to the default hostname sensor.
sensor(config-hos-net)# show settings
