Configuring the Enable and Enable Secret Passwords
To provide an additional layer of security, particularly for passwords that cross the network or are stored
on a TFTP server, you can use either the enable password command or enable secret command. Both
commands accomplish the same thing—they allow you to establish an encrypted password that users
must enter to access privileged EXEC (enable) mode.

Router> enable

Step 3
hostname name

Router(config)# hostname myrouter
Specifies or modifies the hostname for the network server.
Step 4
