Refer to the exhibit.
The network administrator made the entries that are shown and then saved the configuration.
From a console connection, what password or password sequence is required for the
administrator to access privileged mode on Router1?
A.
cisco
B.
sanfran
C.
sanjose
D.
either cisco or sanfran
E.
either cisco or sanjose
F.
sanjose and sanfran
In the configuration above we have three passwords:
+ The “enable secret” password: sanfran
+ The “enable password” password: cisco
+ The VTY line password: sanjose
The two first “enable secret” and “enable password” are used to set password for entering privilege mode (an example of privilege mode: Router#). Both of them will be stored in the running configuration. But the password in “enable secret” command is always encrypted using MD5 hash while the password in “enable password” is in plain text.
Note: If you want to encrypt “enable password” you can use the command “service password-encryption” but it will be encrypted with a very basic form of encryption called vigenere cipher, which is very weak.
When you configure both an enable and a secret password, the secret password will be used -> B is correct.
