Name the switch and save it

The first thing you do on a new switch: give it a name and save the config so it survives a reboot.

Click the switch in the diagram to open its console, press Enter, then move up to privileged EXEC mode.
```

```
Switch consoleAuto-checks
Enter global configuration mode.
```
configure terminal
```
Switch consoleAuto-checks
Name the switch.
```
hostname CORE1
```
Switch consoleAuto-checks
Go back to privileged EXEC mode.
```
end
```
Switch consoleAuto-checks
Write the running config to memory so the name survives a reload.
```
write memory
```
How you'll know it worked: The prompt reads CORE1#, and write memory prints [OK].
