I don't think it matters whether you have upper or lower case hostnames if
you are just using hostnames to pings or telnet on the Cisco routers.
I believe you can configure it with a lower case such as ip host r5 but from
the command prompt, you can do ping R5 or r5 and you will get the same
results.
>From what I remember though, authentication during chap,
the routers expect the upper and lower cases to match during negotiations.

HI ALL,
Is there a difference between uppercase and lowercase for hostname at
router(through ip hostname command) and switch(through set ip alias
command)?
Such as:
(1)ip hostname X100 200.1.1.1
(2)ip hostname x100 200.1.1.1
(3)set ip alias R5 200.1.1.1
(4)set ip alias r5 200.1.1.1
Are the same result for (1) and (2)?
Are the same result for (3) and (4)?
