What does level 5 in this enable secret global configuration mode command indicate?
A.
router#enable secret level 5 password
B.
The enable secret password is hashed using MD5.
C.
The enable secret password is hashed using SHA.
D.
The enable secret password is encrypted using Cisco proprietary level 5 encryption.
E.
Set the enable secret command to privilege level 5.
F.
The enable secret password is for accessing exec privilege level 5.
Explanation:
The correct answer is F !
damn lol i nearly fell for that, I had to have a second look haha!
Guys answer is E! remember “(config)#username privilege 5 password” command sets up the privilege level of a user on the router configuration!!!
I agree, i think the answer is F too
I would say B
The secret key word means MD5 hashing, no level is stated so it will default to privilege level 15.
I would have said F if 15 was showing. ( maybe a number is missing?)
the confusion is came from using number 5 , to make it clear use another number “let say 3 ” to ease the explanation
(router config )# enable secret level 3 0 “text-password”
this is equivalent to
(router config )# enable secret level 3 “text-password”
but they are not equivalent to
(router config )# enable secret level 3 5 “text-password”
the first number specifies the required level you want to protect the 2nd number specify the inserted secret mode and you have 2 and only 2 option
0 or 5 ( if u not specify 0 or 5 the default will be 0 )
if you chose 0 that means you are going to provide a clear “text-password” and then the router is going to ecrypt this using MD5 so your input would be such as ” cisco101″
if you choose 5 that means you are going to provide a pre-computed (i.e pre-encrypted value ) “encrypted-password” so your input would be such as $1$uEn0$Y6IVM8FcOoDECg5vBgHWm/
eventually both input will be saved as an encrypted value using MD5
so when u do show run
the correspondent output will be like this
enable secret level 3 5 $1$uEn0$Y6IVM8FcOoDECg5vBgHWm//
for both
I suspect the image is wrong
can u give me correct image ? we’ll fix it . thax
images

since they are talking about level

I believe the example should be what is listed as answer A, instead of the image. With the answer being F.
if the image is correct, there is no correct answer.
The one being hashed in the command shown in the image is the password of the user “test”, and NOT the “enable” password.
if the correct image is for enable secret level 5 0 password then F should be the answer. with that command you are creating an enable secret password for exec level 5.
so #enable 5
password:[enter the password you created]
you can have multiple enable secrets
you would have to create a
privilege exec level 5 [command]
answer D would have you believe that you are setting the enable secret to privilege level 5
so
privilege exec level 5 enable secret
which won’t work because you can’t conf t at level 5
level 5 in this [enable secret global configuration mode] command
Hi,
It seems the correct answer is F.
The enable secret password is for accessing exec privilege level 5 with password ‘password’
#enable secret level 5 ?
0 Specifies an UNENCRYPTED password will follow
4 Specifies an SHA256 ENCRYPTED secret will follow
5 Specifies a MD5 ENCRYPTED secret will follow
LINE The UNENCRYPTED (cleartext) ‘enable’ secret
According to Catherine Paquet’s book:
To assign privileges to levels 2 to 14, use the privilege command from global configuration mode:
privilege mode {level level command | reset command}
R1(config)# privilege exec level 2 ping
T o assign a password to the custom privilege level, use the command en-able secret level level password in global configuration mode
R1(config)# enable secret level 2 Cariboo2012
Answer F is the most appropriate answer.
“Router#enable secret level 5 password” sets the password for level 5 access.
Correct answer is : “The enable secret password is for accessing exec privilege level 5.”
Note that at level 5. “SHOW RUN” command is unavailable.
R1#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

F is the correct answer
Ref to 640-554 page 119 Official guide
Ask for me the correct answer is F. Look this link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_2/security/configuration/guide/fsecur_c/scfpass.html
Sets the password for the specified privilege level. This is the password users will enter after entering the enable level command to access the specified level.
•0 indicates an unencrypted password string follows; 5 indicates an encrypted password string follows.
