Configuring the Host Name and Password Chapter 3 Configuring with the Command-Line Interface Configuring the Host Name and Password One of the first configuration tasks you might want to do is to configure the host name and set an encrypted password. Configuring a host name allows you to distinguish multiple Cisco VG224s and routers from each other. Setting an encrypted password allows you to prevent unauthorized configuration changes. Command Purpose Step 1 Router> enable Enters enable mode. Enter the password. Password: password Router# You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to Router#. Step 2 Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# Step 3 Router(config)# hostname VG224 Router(config)# Enters global configuration mode. You have entered global configuration mode when the prompt changes to Router(config)#. Changes the name of the Cisco VG224 to a meaningful name. Substitute your host name for Router. Step 4 Router(config)# enable secret guessme Enters an enable secret password. This password provides access to privileged EXEC mode. When you enter enable at the user EXEC prompt (Router> ), you must enter the enable secret password to gain access to configuration mode. Substitute your enable secret password for guessme. Step 5 Router(config)# line con 0 Enters line configuration mode to configure the console port. When you enter line configuration mode, the prompt changes to Router(config-line)#. Router(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0 Prevents the Cisco VG224's EXEC facility from timing out if you do not type any information on the console screen for an extended period. Router(config-line)# exit Router(config)# Exits back to global configuration mode. Cisco VG224 Voice Gateway Software Configuration Guide 3-2 OL-5005-01
