USER ACCESS COMMANDS
ENABLE
SECRET
the commands in User Exec mode, but not any configuration commands in
Privileged Exec mode.
Note that the enable secret command is an alias for the enable password
command and one password per privilege level is allowed using these commands.
Do not assign one password to a privilege level with enable password and another
password to a privilege level with enable secret. Use enable password or enable
secret commands. Do not use both on the same level.
Using plain
passwords
The plain password is a clear text string that appears in the configuration file as
configured.
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# enable secret mypasswd
awplus(config)# end
This results in the following show output:
Using encrypted
passwords
Configure an encrypted password using the service password-encryption
command. First, use the enable password command to specify the string that you
want to use as a password (mypasswd). Then, use the service
password-encryption command to encrypt the specified string (mypasswd). The
advantage of using an encrypted password is that the configuration file does not
show mypasswd, it will only show the encrypted string fU7zHzuutY2SA.
NOTE: Do not use encrypted passwords for GUI users. The GUI requires unencrypted
user passwords only - not encrypted user passwords. Do not use option 8 for GUI users.
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# enable secret mypasswd
awplus(config)# service password-encryption
awplus(config)# end
This results in the following show output:
Using hidden
passwords
Configure an encrypted password using the HIDDEN parameter (8) with the
enable password command. Use this method if you already know the encrypted
string corresponding to the plain text string that you want to use as a password. It
