This host name will be part of the Cisco IOS prompts for all configuration modes. Use the next global parameters shown in the graphic to set the various passwords used on the router. You must enter an enable password. This enhances the security of the password string. Whenever anyone lists the contents of the router configuration file, this enable password appears as a meaningless string of characters.
All passwords are case sensitive and can be alphanumeric.
When you are prompted for parameters for each installed interface, as shown in Figure , use the configuration values that you have selected for your router. Whenever you answer yes to a prompt, additional questions may appear regarding the protocol.
