In addition to the system passwords and enable password, your initial configuration should include the host name to make it easier to configure and troubleshoot the switch router. To configure the host name, use the following steps beginning in enable mode:

 

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	Router#configure terminal Router#	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2	Router# hostname name-string	Enters a system name. In this example, we set the hostname to "Router."
Step 3	Router# end Router(config)#	Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4	Router(config)# copy running-config startup-config	Copies your configuration changes to NVRAM.
