Hostnames

Device Names
Some guidelines for naming conventions are that names should:
Start with a letter
Contain no spaces
End with a letter or digit

Use only letters, digits, and dashes


Be less than 64 characters in length

Without names, network


devices are difficult to
identify for configuration
purposes.

Securing Device Access


The passwords introduced here are:
Enable password - Limits access to the privileged EXEC mode
Enable secret - Encrypted, limits access to the privileged EXEC
mode
Console password - Limits device access using the console
connection
VTY password - Limits device access over Telnet

Note: In most of the labs in this course, we will be using simple


passwords such as cisco or class.

Securing User EXEC Access

Console port must be secured

physically plugging a cable into the device and gaining
device access
vty lines allow access to a Cisco device via Telnet
number of vty lines supported varies with the type of
device and the IOS version
