Description
Use this command without an operand to display the current switch 
name. This name is also shown in the Telnet prompt, under each 
switch icon on the Web Tools Fabric View, and in the output of many 
Telnet commands.
Use this command with the newName operand to assign a new switch 
name. Switch names can be up to 19 characters long, must begin with 
an alpha character, and can consist of a combination of alpha, 
numeric, and underscore characters.
Changing the switch name causes a domain address format RSCN to 
be issued (see FC-FLA for a description of RSCNs).
