Setting Passwords
There are five passwords used to secure your Cisco routers. Just as you
learned earlier in the chapter, the first two passwords are used to set your
enable password, which is used to secure privileged mode. This will prompt
a user for a password when the enable command is used. The other three are
used to configure a password when user mode is accessed either through the
console port, the auxiliary port, or via Telnet.
Enable Passwords
You set the enable passwords from global configuration mode like this:
Router(config)#enable ?
last-resort Define enable action if no TACACS servers
respond
password Assign the privileged level password
secret Assign the privileged level secret
use-tacacs Use TACACS to check enable passwords
Last-resort Allows you to still enter the router if you set up authentica-
tion through a TACACS server and it's not available. But it isn't used if
the TACACS server is working.
Password Sets the enable password on older, pre-10.3 systems, and isn't
ever used if an enable secret is set.
Secret Is the newer, encrypted password that overrides the enable
password if it's set.
