Configuring the Router Hostname

The hostname identifies a router on the network. Although devices can be uniquely identified by their
Layer 2 and Layer 3 addresses (such as an IP address), it is often simpler to remember network devices
by a alphanumeric "hostname." This name is used in the CLI prompt, in default configuration filenames,
and to identify the router on the network.
To configure the hostname, enter the hostname command followed by the name of the router in global
configuration mode.
