Change Apstra DCD Server Hostname

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

To change the Apstra DCD server hostname:

  1. SSH into the Apstra DCD server as user admin (ssh admin@<Apstra DCD-server-ip> where <Apstra DCD-server-ip> is the IP address of the Apstra DCD 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 DCD server hostname. This method causes syslog to log the default hostname instead of the new one when forwarded to an external server.
