Configuring global parameters:
Enter host name [Router]:
myrouter
Step 5
Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (for more security) and cannot be seen
when viewing the configuration.
The enable secret is a password used to protect access to
privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, after
entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration.
Enter enable secret:
xxxxxx
Step 6
Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is
not
encrypted (and is less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration.
The enable password is used when you do not specify an
enable secret password, with some older software versions, and
some boot images.
Enter enable password:
xxxxxx

other than the console port:
The virtual terminal password is used to protect
access to the router over a network interface.
Enter virtual terminal password:
