Configuring the Controller Hostname
The hostname used in CLI prompts the default configuration filenames. If you do not configure the controller
hostname, the controller uses the factory-assigned default hostname WLC.

Configuring the Enable and Enable Secret Passwords
To provide an additional layer of security, particularly for passwords that cross the network or are stored on
a TFTP server, you can use either the enable password command or enable secret command. Both commands
accomplish the same thing—they allow you to establish an encrypted password that users must enter to access
privileged EXEC (enable) mode.
We recommend that you use the enable secret command because it uses an improved encryption algorithm.
If you configure the enable secret command, it takes precedence over the enable password command; the two
commands cannot be in effect simultaneously.
