Configuring the Hostname and Password SUMMARY STEPS 1. enable 2. configure terminal 3. hostname name 4. enable secret password 5. line configuration line 6. exec-timeout minutes seconds 7. exit DETAILED STEPS Command or Action Step 1 enable Step 2 Example: VG# enable configure terminal Step 3 Example: VG# configure terminal hostname name Step 4 Example: VG(config)# hostname VG204 enable secret password Example: VG(config)# enable secret guessme Step 5 line configuration line Step 6 Example: VG(config)# line configuration 0 exec-timeout minutes seconds Step 7 Example: VG(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0 exit Example: VG(config-line)# exit Chapter 3 Configuring with the Command-Line Interface Purpose Enters privileged EXEC mode. Enters global configuration mode. You have entered global configuration mode when the prompt changes to VG(config)#. Changes the name of the Cisco VG to a meaningful name. Enters an enable secret password. This password provides access to privileged EXEC mode. When you press enter at the user EXEC prompt (VG>), you must enter the enable secret password to gain access to configuration mode. Substitute your enable secret password for guessme. Enters line configuration mode to configure the console port. When you enter line configuration mode, the prompt changes to VG(config-line)#. Prevents the Cisco VG's EXEC facility from timing out if you do not type any information on the console screen for an extended period. Exits to global configuration mode.
