Modifying the name of node

Hi I am new to BigIP. I need a favor.I have this configuration:

node 1.2.3.4 { screen ABNDISSX015 }

I need to change the configuration to

node 1.2.3.4 { screen B-ABNDISSX015 }

I am confused on how to do it? Do it just overwrite or do I need to do something more?

Thanx in advance

    Hi!

    You're in luck! 🙂 Looks like you're using version 10 and it's a fair bit easier to changethe name there.

    1. Login via SSH to the load balancer.
    2. Open the /config/bigip.conf file with ie nano.
    3. Replace the screen name part and save the file.
    4. Load the config with 
      b load

    Good luck! 🙂
