You may already be very familiar with changing the host / prompt name of a Cisco Router or Switch. Config T --> hostname --> abc123
The CLI command in Airespace OS to change the command prompt is --- Config --> Prompt --> abc123
Example –
(WiSM-slot3-1) >config prompt ?|
<prompt> Enter system prompt up to 64 case sensitive characters
** NOTE ** My WLC is running 6.0.188.0 -- If you “config prompt ?” states “
<prompt> Enter system prompt up to 64 case sensitive characters.”
HOWEVER if you read the 6.0 Config Guide, page 2-24 states –“ The system prompt can be any alphanumeric string up to 31 characters. You can change it by entering the config prompt command.”
Personally, I don’t think I ever had a switch/router name more then 15 or 18 characters.
I tested it and you can go up to 64 !
