Code:
${HOSTNAME:0:2}

@Scott
Variable hostname
each server hostname has different network
as server hostname is AA1server.example.com
and Client hostname is AA1client.example.com
each and every time I do pinging test between client and server manually. we have 15 different network.

HOSTNAME(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual					       HOSTNAME(7)

NAME
hostname - host name resolution description DESCRIPTION
Hostnames are domains, where a domain is a hierarchical, dot-separated list of subdomains; for example, the machine monet, in the Berkeley subdomain of the EDU subdomain of the ARPANET would be represented as monet.Berkeley.EDU (with no trailing dot). Hostnames are often used with network client and server programs, which must generally translate the name to an address for use. (This function is generally performed by the library routine gethostbyname(3).) Hostnames are resolved by the internet name resolver in the fol- lowing fashion. If the name consists of a single component, i.e. contains no dot, and if the environment variable ``HOSTALIASES'' is set to the name of a file, that file is searched for an string matching the input hostname. The file should consist of lines made up of two white-space sepa- rated strings, the first of which is the hostname alias, and the second of which is the complete hostname to be substituted for that alias. If a case-sensitive match is found between the hostname to be resolved and the first field of a line in the file, the substituted name is looked up with no further processing. If the input name ends with a trailing dot, the trailing dot is removed, and the remaining name is looked up with no further processing. If the input name does not end with a trailing dot, it is looked up in the local domain and its parent domains until either a match is found or fewer than 2 components of the local domain remain. For example, in the domain CS.Berkeley.EDU, the name lithium.CChem will be checked first as lithium.CChem.CS.Berkeley.EDU and then as lithium.CChem.Berkeley.EDU. Lithium.CChem.EDU will not be tried, as the there is only one component remaining from the local domain. SEE ALSO
