286 Chapter 4: LAN Connections
One of the ?¬?rst tasks in con?¬?guring a router is to name it. Naming the router helps you to
better manage the network by enabling you to uniquely identify each router within the
network. The name of the router is considered to be the host name and is the name displayed
at the system prompt. If no name is con?¬?gured, the default router name is Router. The router
name is assigned in global con?¬?guration mode. In Example 4-11, the router name is set to
RouterA.
You can con?¬?gure a message-of-the-day (MOTD) banner to be displayed on all connected
terminals. This banner is displayed at login and is useful for conveying messages, such as
impending system shutdowns that might affect network users. When you enter the banner
motd command, follow the command with one or more blank spaces and a delimiting
character of any choice.
