Cisco Systems 1604 manual Verifying Host Name, Password, and Time Stamp Configuration

Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco 1604 Router

Verifying Host Name, Password, and Time Stamp Configuration

To configure the host name, password and timestamps for the Cisco 1604, enter the following commands beginning in user EXEC mode:

Step 1 Enter privileged EXEC mode.

Router> enable

Step 2 Enter global configuration mode.

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Step 3 Assign a host name to the router. This host name is typically used during authentication with the central site.

Router(config)# hostname robo-austin

Step 4 Enter a secret enable password that secures privileged EXEC mode. Be sure to change “guessme” to your own secret password.

robo-austin(config)# enable secret guessme

Step 5 Encrypt passwords in the configuration file for greater security.

hq-sanjose(config)#service password-encryption

Step 6 Enable millisecond time stamping on debug and logging output. Time stamps are useful for detailed access tracing.

hq-sanjose(config)#service timestamps debug datetime msec hq-sanjose(config)#service timestamps log datetime msec
