Configuring the Host Name and Password
One of the first configuration tasks you might want to do is configure the host name and set an
encrypted password. Configuring a host name allows you to distinguish multiple Cisco access
servers from each other. Setting an encrypted password allows you to prevent unauthorized
configuration changes.
