Tutorial Cisco Packet Tracer - Membuat Hostname

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of configuring a hostname in Cisco Packet Tracer. Setting a hostname is essential for network organization and device identification, especially when managing multiple devices in a network simulation. This is a beginner-friendly tutorial, perfect for those new to Cisco Packet Tracer.

Step 1: Open Cisco Packet Tracer

• Launch the Cisco Packet Tracer application on your computer.
• Wait for the main interface to load completely.

Step 2: Add a Device

• In the bottom left corner, click on the "Devices" icon.
• Select a device from the options, such as a router or a switch.
• Drag and drop the selected device onto the workspace.

Step 3: Access the Command Line Interface

• Click on the device you just added to open its configuration.
• Navigate to the "CLI" tab (Command Line Interface).
• Wait for the device to boot up, which may take a few seconds.

Step 4: Enter Global Configuration Mode

• At the CLI prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

  enable
  

• Next, enter global configuration mode by typing:

  configure terminal
  

Step 5: Set the Hostname

• To set the hostname, use the following command format:

  hostname [YourDesiredHostname]
  

• Replace [YourDesiredHostname] with the name you want to assign to the device. For example:

  hostname Router1
  

• Press Enter to apply the hostname.

Step 6: Verify the Configuration

• To confirm that your hostname has been set correctly, exit back to the privileged EXEC mode by typing:

  exit
  

• Then type:

  show running-config
  

• Check the output to ensure that the hostname is displayed correctly in the configuration.

Step 7: Save the Configuration

• To save your configuration changes, enter the following command:

  write memory
  

• Alternatively, you can use:

  copy running-config startup-config
  

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to set a hostname in Cisco Packet Tracer, which is an important step for organizing and identifying devices in your network simulations. Remember to save your configuration to avoid losing changes. As a next step, consider exploring other configurations such as setting up interfaces or adding IP addresses to your devices. Happy networking!
