hostname NewHostName

• Modify the DHCP_HOSTNAME parameter of the network file (modify only if present)
  

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Add this next interfaces for TMG5800, TMP5900, TMP7950 only:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

Add this next interfaces for TMP7950 only:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2

• Modify the HOSTNAME parameter of the network file (modify only if present)
