Easiest way is to connect to the serial console of the mgmt board.
Login (default is Admin/Admin),
choose "CM" (command mode),
and then "LS" (LAN setup).

If you don't get the login, you'd have to enter Ctrl-B to get the
mgmt board's attention.

The default setup is DHCP, with the hostname being "mp"+(mgmt board MAC address).
If you have DDNS running (i.e. the DHCP server enters leases into DNS),
I guess you could also change it through the web interface.
