 Router Administrative Function

The administrative functions that you can configure on a router and switch are
 Hostnames
 Banners
 Password
 Interface descriptions

Hostnames:
We can change the name of the host by using the hostname command in privilege
mode.
To change the hostname, we need to enter privilege mode first, then type the
following commands.

Router#config t
Router(config)#hostname Air
Air(config)#hostname BCE
BCE(config)#
Here, we changed the name to Air first then we changed it to BCE.
Banners:
There are four types of banners in a router which are:
Exec process creation banner
Incoming terminal line banner
Login banner
Message of the day banner

Exec process creation banner:

We can configure a line-activation (exec) banner to be displayed when an EXEC
process is created. By simply starting a user exec session through a console port,
we’ll activate the exec banner.

Login banner:
Login banner You can configure a login banner to be displayed on all
connected terminals. This banner is displayed after the MOTD banner,
but before the login prompts. The login banner can’t be disabled on a
per-line basis, so to globally disable it, you’ve got to delete it with the
no banner login command.
Message of the day banner:
It gives a message to every person dialing into or connecting to the router via
Telnet or auxiliary port, or even through a console port.

Password:
There are five passwords used to secure your Cisco routers: console, auxiliary (not
available in Packet Tracer), telnet (VTY), enable password, and enable secret. Just
as we learned earlier, the first two passwords are used to set our enable
password that’s used to secure privileged mode. This will prompt a user for a
password when the enable command is used. The other three are used to
configure a password when user mode is accessed either through the console
port, through the auxiliary port, or via Telnet.

Enable Passwords:
Enable passwords can be set as:

Console Password:
The password for the console can be set as:
Telnet Passoword:
The password for the telnet can be set as:

Interface Descriptions:

Descriptions on the interface can be set as:
