Chapter 3 Configuring with the Command-Line Interface
Configuring the Host Name and Password
Configuring the Host Name and Password
One of the first configuration tasks you might want to do is to configure the host name and set an
encrypted password. Configuring a host name allows you to distinguish multiple Cisco VG224s and
routers from each other. Setting an encrypted password allows you to prevent unauthorized configuration
changes.

Router(config)#
Changes the name of the Cisco VG224 to a
meaningful name. Substitute your host name for

Step 4

provides access to privileged EXEC mode. When
you enter enable at the user EXEC prompt
(Router> ), you must enter the enable secret
