How to change the device hostname

Oct 22, 2015 | Posted by Sola Abiodun | How to |

Establish an SSH connection to Z-Command.

You need to edit two files and update the host name.

1. Edit the hostname file

sudo nano /etc/hostname

You will see current hostname. Change this to whatever you want – one word without special characters or spaces.

CTRL+X press Y then hit Enter

2. Next you need to change the hosts file

sudo nano/etc/hosts

Change the entry with 127.0.1.1. Replace the existing hostname with the new value.

For example 127.0.1.1 your-new-name

 

3. Reboot
