CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 669

Which global command encrypts all passwords in the running configuration?

Answer options

• A. service password-encryption
• B. enable password-encryption
• C. enable secret
• D. password-encrypt

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, 'service password-encryption', as it specifically instructs the device to encrypt all passwords in the running configuration. The other options do not provide the same functionality; for instance, 'enable secret' (C) is used for securing the privileged EXEC mode but does not encrypt all passwords in the configuration.
