Lightbulb Cisco Router command to get hostname

Hi All,

I am connected to a cisco router and I want to know the hostname of this router.

I connect as telnet <IPADDRESS>

and the prompt shows

But I want to know the full hostname of the router how can i do that.

When i type the hostname command the following error occurs.

% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer address

If you can help.

Thanks,
Rahul.

defaultrouter(4)                                                   File Formats                                                   defaultrouter(4)

NAME
defaultrouter - configuration file for default router(s) SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultrouter DESCRIPTION
The /etc/defaultrouter file specifies a IPv4 host's default router(s). The format of the file is as follows: IP_address ... The /etc/defaultrouter file can contain the IP addresses or hostnames of one or more default routers, with each entry on its own line. If you use hostnames, each hostname must also be listed in the local /etc/hosts file, because no name services are running at the time that defaultrouter is read. Lines beginning with the ``#'' character are treated as comments. The default routes listed in this file replace those added by the kernel during diskless booting. An empty /etc/defaultrouter file will cause the default route added by the kernel to be deleted. Use of a default route, whether received from a DHCP server or from /etc/defaultrouter, prevents a machine from acting as an IPv4 router. You can use routeadm(1M) to override this behavior. FILES
