Configuring Hostname, Resources, User
Accounts, and SLAs
The following topics describe configuring the host name on a security appliance, defining and managing
Resource classes on Firewall Services Modules (FWSMs) in multiple-context mode, managing user
accounts in the Local user database, and monitoring service level agreements (SLAs) to perform route
tracking.
This chapter contains the following topics:
• Hostname Page, page 50-1
• Resource Management on Multi-context FWSMs, page 50-2
• Configuring User Accounts, page 50-6
• Monitoring Service Level Agreements (SLAs) To Maintain Connectivity, page 50-7
Hostname Page
You can use the Hostname page to specify a host name for your security device, and to specify a default
domain. After the configuration file is deployed, the device uses this domain name when you do not enter
a fully-qualified domain name in other commands. It also uses this domain name in RSA key generation.
The device appends this domain name to unqualified names. For example, if you set the domain name
to “example.com,” and specify a syslog server by the unqualified name “jupiter,” the security appliance
completes the name to “jupiter.example.com.”
When you set a host name for the security appliance, that name appears in the command line prompt. If
you establish sessions to multiple devices, the host name helps you keep track of where you enter
commands. The default host name depends on your platform.
In multiple-context mode, you can specify a domain name for each context, as well as the system
execution space. The host name you specify in the system execution space appears in the command line
prompt for all contexts. The host name that you optionally set within a context does not appear in the
command line, but can be used by the banner command
$(hostname) token.
Navigation Path
In Device View, select a security device and then select Platform > Device Admin > Hostname from
the Device Policy selector.
