Command Authorization-based Access Control
Overview
A simple way to manage the terminals‟ access to a network is to use passwords
and assign privileged levels. Password restricts access to a network or network
devices. Privileged levels define the commands users can use after they have
logged in to a network device.
From the perspective of security, password is stored in the configuration file.
Password must be safe when the configuration file is transmitted, for example,
over TFTP, across a network. Password is encrypted before being stored into
the configuration file, and the clear text password is changed to the cipher text
password. The enable secret command uses a private encryption algorithm.
