How to Encrypt All Passwords on a CISCO Router

When it comes to protecting your network from cyber threats, encrypting passwords on your Cisco router is crucial. One command that can help in this regard is the service password-encryption command.

By using the service password-encryption command on a Cisco router, all plain-text passwords in the configuration file are converted into a hashed format, making them more secure and harder to decipher by potential attackers.

It's important to note that while this command encrypts passwords, it is not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other security measures to enhance overall network security.

The password problem refers to the challenges and vulnerabilities associated with creating, managing, and securing passwords, which often leads to weak or reused passwords and increased security risks.
