Cisco ASR 1001-X User Manual

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.
We recommend that you use the enable secret command because it uses an improved encryption algorithm.
For more information, see the “Configuring Passwords and Privileges” chapter in the Cisco IOS Security
Configuration Guide . Also see the Cisco IOS Password Encryption Facts tech note and the Improving Security
on Cisco Routers tech note.
If you configure the enable secret command, it takes precedence over the enable password command;
the two commands cannot be in effect simultaneously.
