Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks (TSHOOT, legacy) — Question 21

Which command securely encrypts the enable password on an IOS device?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The command 'enable secret' is the correct choice as it encrypts the enable password, making it more secure than the plain text version. 'enable secure' and 'enable password' do not provide encryption, while 'service password-encryption' only encrypts passwords configured in the configuration file, but does not encrypt the enable password specifically.
