Naming the ATM Switch Router

You can name the ATM switch router to distinguish it from other Cisco devices in your

network. This feature is especially useful when you have multiple console windows open

and you need to distinguish one Cisco device from another. Naming the switch changes the

default prompt (Switch>) to a prompt name of your choice; for example, Nevada_Switch>.
