this policy, any changes that you made to the hostname and domain name are reflected in the Device

Step 1 Do one of the following:
• (Device view) Select Platform > Device Admin > Hostname from the Policy selector.
• (Policy view) Select Router Platform > Device Admin > Hostname from the Policy Type selector.
Select an existing policy or create a new one.
The Hostname page is displayed. See Table 60-35 on page 60-78 for a description of the fields on this
page.
Step 2 Enter the hostname for the router. Names must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and include
only letters, digits, and hyphens. The maximum length is 63 characters.
Step 3 Enter the domain name for the router. The router uses this domain name for RSA key generation and in
policies when you do not enter the fully-qualified domain name.
