Configuring your Router
Set the enable (secret) password:
- router(config)# enable secret “your pswd”
- This MD5 encrypts the password
- The old method was to use the enable password command. But this is not secure (weak encryption) and is ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE!
Ensure that all passwords stored on router are (weakly) encrypted rather than clear text:
- router(config)# service password-encryption
