Configuring a router name

Configuring a router name
3.1.2 This page will explain how a router name is configured.


A router should be given a unique name as one of the first configuration tasks. This task is accomplished in global configuration mode with the following command:

Router(config)#hostname Tokyo

Tokyo(config)#

When the Enter key is pressed, the prompt will change from the default host name, which is Router, to the newly configured host name, which is Tokyo.
