QuestionQ1125

Security Fundamentals

Which global command encrypts every password in the running configuration?

  • A service password-encryption
  • B enable password-encryption
  • C enable secret
  • D password-encrypt
Explanation

In Cisco IOS, the global configuration command service password-encryption applies password encryption to plaintext passwords stored in the running configuration. It affects line passwords and other eligible passwords already present and causes future plaintext passwords to be stored in encrypted form. enable secret protects only the enable password, not all passwords, and the other commands are not the correct global command for this function.
