The following commands are entered on the router:
[FONT=Calibri,Calibri][FONT=Calibri,Calibri]Burbank(config)# enable secret fortress
Burbank(config)# line con 0
Burbank(config-line)# login
Burbank(config-line)# password n0way1n
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Calibri,Calibri][FONT=Calibri,Calibri][/FONT][/FONT]What is the purpose of the last command entered?
A. to require the user to enter an encrypted password during the login process
B. to prevent the vty, console, and enable passwords from being displayed in plain text in the configuration files
C. to encrypt the enable secret password
D. to provide login encryption services between hosts attached to the router
[FONT=Calibri,Calibri][FONT=Calibri,Calibri]Correct Answer:
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Calibri,Calibri][FONT=Calibri,Calibri][/FONT][/FONT]B [FONT=Calibri,Calibri][FONT=Calibri,Calibri]Section: (none) Explanation [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri,Calibri][FONT=Calibri,Calibri] Explanation/Reference:
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Calibri,Calibri][FONT=Calibri,Calibri][/FONT][/FONT]Certain types of passwords, such as Line passwords, by default appear in clear text in the configuration file. You can use the service password-encryption command to make them more secure. Once this command is entered, each password configured is automatically encrypted and thus rendered illegible inside the configuration file (much as the Enable/Enable Secret passwords are). Securing Line passwords is doubly important in networks on which TFTP servers are used, because TFTP backup entails routinely moving config files across networks--and config files, of course, contain Line passwords.

Yeah, that's an error. None of those answers are correct.

Raymond Mason

This has nothing to do with encryption, its just sets up a simple login password. Who wrote this?

Mow

It looks like the config is missing a line:

Burbank(config)#service password-encryption


You can test this by entering the config as stated above, do s show run to see the passwords, then use the command I gave, do another show run, see the passwords encrypted.

The secret in the first line wouldn't be in clear text but yeah that question should be corrected.
