Here are the answers to Sunday's questions!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
Identify the true statements regarding Cisco routers.
A. The password encryption service is enabled by default.
B. The password encryption service is disabled by default.
C. The enable secret command uses a relatively strong encryption scheme.
D. The enable secret command uses a relatively weak encryption scheme that is easily compromised.
E. The VTY line password is set by default, and it is "cisco".
F. The VTY line password is not set by default.
Answers: B, D, F. To use the password encryption service, you'll need to use the service password-encryption command, since that service is disabled by default.
The particular encryption used by that command is relatively weak; it'll stop people from casually peeking at the password, but several programs exist that can crack this particular encryption in a matter of seconds.
There is no default VTY line password.
