1.2.2 Ensure 'Host Name' is set

Information

Changes the device default hostname

Rationale:

The device hostname plays an important role in asset inventory and identification as a security requirement, but also in the public keys and certificate deployments as well as when correlating logs from different systems during an incident handling.

Solution

* Step 1: Acquire the enterprise naming convention to build the name_of_device
* Step 2: Run the following to configure the device hostname

HOSTNAME(CONFIG)#HOSTNAME <_name_of_device_>
