Step 1—Configuring the Host Name, Password, and Time Stamps

Assign a host name to the Cisco 1604, enable basic security, and turn on time stamping.

•Assigning a host name helps you to distinguish between different network devices.

•Enabling passwords helps you to prevent unauthorized configuration changes.

•Setting time stamps helps you to trace debug output for testing connections—not knowing exactly when an event occurs hinders you from examining background processes.

As you configure the software, make sure that all logging dialog generated by the router appears on your terminal screen. If it does not, enter the terminal monitor EXEC command. If you are configuring the router with the console port, logging automatically appears.

You can use security measures in addition to those described in Steps 4 and 5 below to further encrypt the password. See the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Security Command Reference for more information.
