Question 980

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring a router for user access via SSH. The service-password encryption command has been issued. The configuration must meet these requirements:

• Create the username as CCUser.

• Create the password as NA!2$cc.

• Encrypt the user password.

What must be configured to meet the requirements?

    Correct Answer: A

    To meet the specified requirements, the correct configuration is to use the command 'username CCUser password NA!2$cc'. The 'service password-encryption' command will encrypt the plain-text password. Therefore, option A adequately satisfies all the criteria by creating the username CCUser, setting the password to NA!2$cc in plain text, which will then be encrypted by the service-password encryption command.

Discussion
JJY888Option: C

To create the username as CCUser, create the password as NA!2$cc, and encrypt the user password, option C is the correct configuration. Option A only creates the user and sets a plain-text password. Option B sets a privileged level password for enable mode, but it does not create the user or encrypt the password. Option D creates the user and sets a plain-text password but does not encrypt the password. Option C creates the user, sets an encrypted password, and meets all the specified requirements.

But there is the service-password encryption command is issued so why we need secret if in case need more security but they didn't say about that

itemba36Option: A

C is wrong, because NA!2Sce is not the right password. I think A is right. Although this user password NA!2$cc is not encrypted in Answer A, the service-password encryption command will encrypt it.

Shabeth

I agree, ill go with A too

sdmejia01Option: C

C is correct. The requirements don't ask for privilege access and the secret password is already set.

mageknight

Create the password as NA!2$cc. it is a different password in answer C

picho707

This is a good point. Based in this information the correct answer is "C".

kalitwolOption: C

C is correct because the question doesnt mention privilege levels and also the service password-encryption is a weak form of encryption; Cisco recommends us to use the strongest encryption available.....enable secret

squagmireOption: A

I've tested it in packet tracer, and indeed the password NA!2$cc doesn't have to be a 'secret'. service password-encryption ecrypts the password even if 'username CCUser privilege 10 password NA!2$cc ' is inputted after it 1)service password-encryption 2)username CCUser privilege 10 password NA!$cc 3) show run | include password -> username CCUser privilege 10 password 7 080F6D0F4D1A06

86a50a6Option: A

A is the only one that comes near being right, C has a password typo in it. service-password encryption is already configured so no need for a secret or whatever. simple and plain answer for stupid Cisco questions that love to see you fail so they can keep making money out of this shit.

a67c04aOption: A

I go with A. The service-password encryption command is already set, option C has typo.

bymrdasOption: C

C é a correcta

SeMo0o0oOption: C

C is correct i think the password given is a typo, however i must to enter "secret" command since the question says "encrypt the password".

dropspabloOption: C

A request was made to encrypt the password, but both the "#password" and "#secret" commands fulfill this request, since the "#service password-encryption" command is enabled. The difference is that other commands include privilege (authorization) levels, and this was not requested. Letter C is correct, as it meets all requirements, without exaggeration. The encryption service in this case is just to confuse.

rogi2023Option: A

Another tricky question with bad wording - IMHO First lets agree that C is not a typo and therefore it's wrong answer. trying to find MIN/MAX solution I go with A. - What do you think ? I hope not to see such Q on exam.

[Removed]

I think it's a typo
