Step 5 Enter a hostname for the router (this example uses Router).

Configuring global parameters:

Enter host name [Router]: Router

Step 6 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when viewing the configuration.

Enter enable secret: xxxxxx

Step 7 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (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

Step 8 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the router through ports 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: xxxxxx
