Cisco Systems EA6500 Manual De Usuario

The following tasks provide a way to control access to the system configuration file and privileged 
EXEC commands:

To set or change a static password that controls access to the privileged EXEC mode, perform this task:

This example shows how to configure an enable password as “lab” at the privileged EXEC mode:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# enable password lab

Router(config)#

To display the password or access level configuration, see the 

To provide an additional layer of security, particularly for passwords that cross the network or that are 
stored on a TFTP server, you can use either the enable password or enable secret commands. Both 
commands configure an encrypted password that you must enter to access enable mode (the default) or 
to access a specified privilege level. We recommend that you use the enable secret command.

If you configure the enable secret command, it takes precedence over the enable password command; 
the two commands cannot be in effect simultaneously.

To configure the switch to require an enable password, perform either of these tasks: 

Router(config)# enable password password 

Sets a new password or changes an existing password for the 
privileged EXEC mode.

Router(config)# enable password [level level] 

{password | encryption-type encrypted-password}

Establishes a password for the privileged EXEC mode.

Router(config)# enable secret [level level] {password 

| encryption-type encrypted-password}

Specifies a secret password, saved using a nonreversible 
encryption method. (If enable password and enable secret 
commands are both set, users must enter the enable secret 
password.)
