Configure the global parameters. A typical configuration follows:
Configuring global parameters:
Enter host name [Router]:
Next, you are prompted to enter an enable secret password. There are two types
of privileged-level passwords:
•
Enable secret password (a very secure, encrypted password)
•
Enable password (a less secure, nonencrypted password)
The enable password is used when the enable secret password does not exist.
For maximum security, be sure the passwords are different. If you enter the same
password for both, the router will accept your entry, but will display a warning
message indicating that you should enter a different password.
Enter an enable secret password:
The enable secret is a one-way cryptographic secret used
instead of the enable password when it exists.
Enter enable secret: pail
The enable password is used when there is no enable secret
and when using older software and some boot images.
