DETAILED STEPS
Configuring the Enable and Enable Secret Passwords
To provide an additional layer of security, particularly for passwords that cross the network or are stored
on a TFTP server, you can use either the enable password command or enable secret command. Both
commands accomplish the same thing—they allow you to establish an encrypted password that users
must enter to access privileged EXEC (enable) mode.
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
hostname name
Example:
Router(config)# hostname myrouter
Specifies or modifies the hostname for the network server.
Step 4
end
Example:
myrouter# end
(Optional) Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
