CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 495

An administrator must use the password complexity not manufacturer-name command to prevent users from adding `Cisco` as a password. Which command must be issued before this command?

Answer options

• A. login authentication my-auth-list
• B. service password-encryption
• C. password complexity enable
• D. confreg 0x2142

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The command 'password complexity enable' must be issued first to activate password complexity requirements, allowing the subsequent 'not manufacturer-name' command to take effect. The other options do not pertain to enabling password complexity, making them irrelevant for this scenario.
