How is that possible?

Christopher Dobkowski

Hi there guyz!

I just created an account on cisco.com and went to do some questions they had.
There was a question that goes like this:




Which four of the following can be protected with a password? (Choose four.):

1- Console access
2- VTY access
3- TTY access
4- User-level access
5- Exec-level access

I selected 1-2-4-5 and it said it's wrong.. that instead user-mode its tty... HOW?! u can't set a password on user-level? since when? :S
And what is tty after all? never heard of it

If you read the Question twice it would be better to understand the question, Probably they were asking which level of commands that acquired the password.

1.Console Access - 2.VTY Access - 3.TTY Acces - 4.User Level Access

Now i think you would understand it properly.

It's 1-2-3-5 :P And this question is probably dumb and it's only for purpose of CCNA exam, cause if u know a bit more than just ccna than u will know there is a way to set a password even on user exec but it might be either outside of the ccna scope or it's considered a trick or something...

TTY lines are asynchronous lines used for inbound/outbound modem and terminal connections and can be password protected.

Don't stress out about knowing it though. A lot of people would be thrown off by the "TTY" access. I only really remembered it since I use a Linux laptop sometimes at work and when I'm using the Cisco console cable, I'm having to enter the "#screen /dev/TTYS0 9600" command all the time. You're probably not going to see a question on the test the refers specifically to TTY but it's good to know for the real world

I'm totally agree with Iris what you'd talk about. I just thought to answer of real world scenarios
