Setting Up Hostname

It's advised to change the hostname of each device to a unique name so that you can easily identify them afterwards and avoid accidental misidentification.

Set Up Hostname (Automatic)

Use the script.

Set Up Hostname (Manual)

1. Switch the workplace to the Jetson devices by either ssh or IO devices.
2. Change the contents of the file /etc/hostname to something like:

   tegra-server
   

   for the server or

   tegra-client-1
   

   for some client.
3. Change the contents of the file /etc/hosts to something like:

   127.0.0.1 localhost
   127.0.1.1 tegra-server
   

   for the server or

   127.0.0.1 localhost
   127.0.1.1 tegra-client-1
   

   for some client.
4. Repeat steps #1-3 to other devices, replace the name tegra-server or tegra-client-1 with something else.
