      damn lol i nearly fell for that, I had to have a second look haha!
      Guys answer is E! remember “(config)#username privilege 5 password” command sets up the privilege level of a user on the router configuration!!!

    I would say B

    The secret key word means MD5 hashing, no level is stated so it will default to privilege level 15.

    I would have said F if 15 was showing. ( maybe a number is missing?)

      the confusion is came from using number 5 , to make it clear use another number “let say 3 ” to ease the explanation

      (router config )# enable secret level 3 0 “text-password”

      this is equivalent to

      (router config )# enable secret level 3 “text-password”

      but they are not equivalent to
      (router config )# enable secret level 3 5 “text-password”

      the first number specifies the required level you want to protect the 2nd number specify the inserted secret mode and you have 2 and only 2 option
      0 or 5 ( if u not specify 0 or 5 the default will be 0 )
      if you chose 0 that means you are going to provide a clear “text-password” and then the router is going to ecrypt this using MD5 so your input would be such as ” cisco101″
      if you choose 5 that means you are going to provide a pre-computed (i.e pre-encrypted value ) “encrypted-password” so your input would be such as $1$uEn0$Y6IVM8FcOoDECg5vBgHWm/

      eventually both input will be saved as an encrypted value using MD5
      so when u do show run
      the correspondent output will be like this

      enable secret level 3 5 $1$uEn0$Y6IVM8FcOoDECg5vBgHWm//
      for both

    if the image is correct, there is no correct answer.

    The one being hashed in the command shown in the image is the password of the user “test”, and NOT the “enable” password.

  3. Luis Cifer says:

    if the correct image is for enable secret level 5 0 password then F should be the answer. with that command you are creating an enable secret password for exec level 5.

    so #enable 5
    password:[enter the password you created]

    you can have multiple enable secrets

    you would have to create a

    privilege exec level 5 [command]

    answer D would have you believe that you are setting the enable secret to privilege level 5

    so
    privilege exec level 5 enable secret

    which won’t work because you can’t conf t at level 5

    Hi,
    It seems the correct answer is F.

    The enable secret password is for accessing exec privilege level 5 with password ‘password’

    #enable secret level 5 ?
    0 Specifies an UNENCRYPTED password will follow
    4 Specifies an SHA256 ENCRYPTED secret will follow
    5 Specifies a MD5 ENCRYPTED secret will follow
    LINE The UNENCRYPTED (cleartext) ‘enable’ secret

  5. MD says:

    According to Catherine Paquet’s book:

    To assign privileges to levels 2 to 14, use the privilege command from global configuration mode:

    privilege mode {level level command | reset command}

    R1(config)# privilege exec level 2 ping

    T o assign a password to the custom privilege level, use the command en-able secret level level password in global configuration mode

    R1(config)# enable secret level 2 Cariboo2012

    Answer F is the most appropriate answer.

    “Router#enable secret level 5 password” sets the password for level 5 access.

    Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
    R1(config)#enble
    R1(config)#enable
    R1(config)#enable sece
    R1(config)#enable secre
    R1(config)#enable secret level ?
    Level number

    R1(config)#enable secret level 5 ?
    0 Specifies an UNENCRYPTED password will follow
    5 Specifies an ENCRYPTED secret will follow
    LINE The UNENCRYPTED (cleartext) ‘enable’ secret

    R1(config)#enable secret level 5 passsword
    R1(config)#
    R1#
    R1#disable
    R1>enable 5
