Configuring the Host Name
To configure the host name of the Cisco RV180/RV180W:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > LAN (Local Network) > IPv4 LAN (Local Network).
STEP 2 In the Host Name field, enter the host name of the Cisco RV180/RV180W. You can
use only alpha-numeric characters and the hyphen.
The default hostname (for example, “router9BA120”) consists of the word “router
followed by the last 3 bytes of firewall’s LAN MAC address (in Hex-decimal form).
This format allows the FindIT application to use Bonjour to identify Cisco Small
Business devices on the LAN.
STEP 3 Click Save.
Configuring the IP Address
You might want to change the default IP address if that address is assigned to
another piece of equipment in your network.
