Security Fundamentals

Which command prevents passwords from being stored in the configuration as plain text on a router or switch?

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

The Cisco IOS global command service password-encryption encrypts plaintext password entries in the device configuration so they are not displayed or stored as readable plain text. By contrast, enable secret protects only the enable password, enable password is the less secure legacy form, and username cisco password encrypt is not the correct IOS command for this function.
