However there are few things which are still required if a computer wants to participate in Cisco network environment. PC name is yet another such type of requirement. This means that if a user is not able to change a PC name even if it is a simulated computer he will always get confused during the configurations. Developers of Virtual PC Simulator understand this and therefore they allow users to modify the default name of simulated virtual PCs if required. Name of the selected virtual PC cannot be more than 6 characters though. Set command is used to change the name of simulated virtual PC.
