• Customizing the Cable Access Router Interface
• Using Multiple PCs with the Cable Access Router
Note Before attempting to reconfigure a Cisco uBR900 series cable access router at a subscriber
site, contact your network administrator, provisioning manager, or billing system
administrator to ensure that remote configuration is allowed. If remote configuration is
disabled, settings you make and save at the local site will not remain in effect after the cable
access router is powered down and back up. Instead, settings will return to the previous
configuration.
Configuring a Host Name and Password
One of the first configuration tasks you might want to perform is to configure a host name and set an
encrypted password. Configuring a host name allows you to distinguish multiple Cisco uBR900 series
cable access routers from each other. Setting an encrypted password allows you to prevent unauthorized
configuration changes.
Note Passwords are case sensitive.
To configure a host name and an encrypted password for a Cisco uBR900 series cable access router, use
the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
uBR924(config)# hostname cisco
cisco(config)#
Changes the name of the uBR900 series to a
meaningful name. Substitute your host name for the
cisco keyword.
Step 2
cisco(config)# enable secret guessme
Enters an enable secret password. This password
provides access to enable (privileged EXEC) mode.
After configuring a password, when you enter enable
at the EXEC prompt, you must enter the enable secret
password to gain access to configuration mode.
Substitute your enable secret password for the
guessme keyword.
Step 3
cisco(config)# line console 0
cisco(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0
cisco(config-line)# exit
cisco(config)#
Enters line configuration mode to configure the
console port.
Prevents the EXEC facility from timing out if you do
not type any information on the console screen for an
extended period.
Exits to global configuration mode.
