I'm an experienced networking professional with a deep understanding of Cisco devices and their configurations. I've worked extensively with routers and switches, configuring and troubleshooting various network setups. My expertise is grounded in practical experience, having successfully implemented and maintained complex network infrastructures.
Now, let's delve into the output provided by the "show running-config" command and the question about the "exec-timeout" command. The snippet you provided is a part of the configuration for the console line on a Cisco router or switch. The relevant portion looks like this:
Line console 0
Exec-timeout 1 35
Password BIXPASSWD
Login
The "exec-timeout" command is used to set the timeout values for the console line. In this case, the two numbers following the command are represented as minutes and seconds, respectively. So, the correct interpretation would be:
C. If no commands have been typed in 1 minute and 35 seconds, the console connection will be closed.
This means that if there is no input or activity on the console connection for a duration of 1 minute and 35 seconds, the console connection will automatically be terminated or closed. It's an essential security measure to ensure that inactive console sessions do not remain open indefinitely, potentially exposing the device to unauthorized access. This configuration helps in maintaining the security and integrity of the network device.
The _enable secret [password] command enables an encrypted password and overrides the enable password if it is set. The _enable password [password] command adds a plain text password to the privileged mode.
To set a local password to control access to various privilege levels, use the enable password command in global configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the password requirement. enable password [level level] {password | [encryption-type] encrypted-password}
enable password is a command that allows setting a local password to control access to various privilege levels in global configuration mode. On the other hand, enable secret is a command that provides an additional layer of security over the enable password command in global configuration mode.
You configure a password in privileged EXEC mode by using the command enable secret [level level] unencrypted-password | encryption-type encrypted-password.
Click Wireless at the top of the page. Click the Wireless Security tab. Under 2.4GHz Wireless Security, type a new password for the network in the Pre-Shared Key field.Under 5GHz Wireless Security, type a new password for the network in the Pre-Shared Key field.
The recommended minimum password length is 8 characters. The administrator can specify both the minimum (1) and the maximum (64) length for the password. The security administrator can provide a configurable option for a password to have a maximum lifetime.
Type 9 is designed to make it difficult to crack the password since it requires a significant amount of hardware resources to do so, raising the cost for an adversary to brute force. The passwords are stored as hashes within the configuration file. Cisco and industry recommend Type 9 hashes.
You configure a password in privileged EXEC mode by using the command enable secret [level level] unencrypted-password | encryption-type encrypted-password.
