3.1 Configuring a Router  
  3.1.2 Configuring a router name  
A router should be given a unique name as one of the first configuration tasks. This task is accomplished in global configuration mode using the following commands:

Router(config)#hostname Tokyo
Tokyo(config)#

As soon as the Enter key is pressed, the prompt changes from the default host name (Router) to the newly configured host name, which is Tokyo in the example.
