Hi all

I have meet one  problem

could  someone let me know how  I can hide   login password from show running config

for  example  3 people  can  acces  to router  and  2  of them  have  user acces  and one   admin

recently I  checked how  to decrypt  cisco router login pass

so  It means that other users can decrypt admin pass and login as  admin

ANY iDEA?

Thanks

Hi,

use

service password-encryption
enable secret ...

and

username userX privilege y secret ...

commands to prevent an non-authorised user to decrypt the passwords from the config file.

HTH,

user the word "secret" instead of password when configuring the usernames.

username joeblow priv 15 secret guessmypassword

This will encrypt it and you will not be able to decrypt it.

service-password encryption is a good configuration to apply.
