Configuring the Hostname and Password
One of the first configuration tasks is to configure the hostname and set an encrypted password.
Configuring a hostname allows you to distinguish multiple Cisco IADs and routers from each other.
Setting an encrypted password allows you to prevent unauthorized configuration changes.
Note A hostname can be specified only when the router has a DNS server available for hostname resolution.
To configure the hostname and password, perform the following steps.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. hostname

5. line-console
