By the way, use the &quot;enable secret &lt;password&gt;&quot; command to set the enable password as it uses a stronger hash.

By the way, use the "enable secret <password>" command to set the enable password as it uses a stronger hash.

One other thing to note, the level 7 password encryption can be easily decrypted so don't rely on it to protect against unauthorized people viewing the configuration, i.e. remove your hashed passwords from the configuration if others need to view it.

Ok,<br />
<br />
I've got a new Cisco 3845 router that i'm setting up here. &nbsp;I have a few, what I think should be simple tasks that i'm having problems with.<br />
<br />
1) I've got the passwords set for enable, console, aux and telnet, however when I do a SHO RUN command, they appear in clear text. &nbsp;how can I get them to be encrypted?<br />
<br />
2) I've set the telnet password, yet when I try to connect, it doesn't even socket on port 23. &nbsp;I confirmed I can ping the interface ok. &nbsp;what needs to be done here?<br />
<br />
Help!<br />
thanks in advance.

New Cisco Router / Setting up password and telnet access

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
