Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through configuring the hostname in Cisco Packet Tracer. Understanding how to set a hostname is essential for network management and helps in identifying devices within a network. This step-by-step guide will provide clear instructions to ensure you can configure hostnames effectively.

Step 1: Open Cisco Packet Tracer

• Launch Cisco Packet Tracer on your computer.
• Create a new project or open an existing one where you want to configure the hostname.

Step 2: Add a Device

• Select a router or switch from the device panel.
• Drag and drop the device onto the workspace.

Step 3: Access the Device's CLI

• Click on the device you added to open its configuration window.
• Navigate to the "CLI" tab to access the Command-Line Interface.

Step 4: Enter Privileged EXEC Mode

• Type the following command to enter privileged EXEC mode:

  enable
  

• Press Enter. This mode allows you to execute configuration commands.
