Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 550

A network engineer wants to configure console access to a router without using AAA so that the privileged exec mode is entered directly after a user provides the correct login credentials. Which action achieves this goal?

Answer options

• A. Configure a RADIUS or TACACS+ server and use it to send the privilege level.
• B. Configure login authentication privileged on line con 0.
• C. Configure privilege level 15 on line con 0.
• D. Configure a local username with privilege level 15.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because configuring privilege level 15 on line con 0 allows users to immediately access privileged exec mode after successful login. Options A and B involve AAA methods which are not desired in this scenario, while option D, while it creates a user with high privilege, does not directly ensure that the console login grants immediate access to privileged exec mode.
