0. CCNA Exam Questions
- There are alternative ways to hash/encrypt passwords where
0= Unencrypted secret,5= MDS Hashed secret,8PBKDF2 Hashed Secret,9SCRYPT Hashed secret
13 SSH : Secure SHell
13.3 Setting up hostname and domain names !
- Recall, this is our topology:

- Method 1: Please perform the following on R1
conf t username user1 secret pass1 line vty 0 4 login local transport input ssh end - Let’s break it down a bit…
username user1 secret pass1= username and passwordline vty 0 4vty: Multiple entries into Router user mode, referring to diagram pt. 2 from page 18login local: login w/ local user info (i.e. user1 pass1)transport input ssh: limits only ssh to enter the 5 vtysm and limits virtual terminals to accept SSH connections only
- Remarks:
- Cisco IOS ssh servers requires username based auth, hence need username-password pair (i.e. user1, pass1)
- Method 2: Bash or encrypt the password
- Here are the possible methods to setup your secrets
Router1(config)# username user1 secret ? 0 specifies a UNENCRYPTED secret will follow 5 specifies a MDS Hashed secret will follow 8 specifies a PBKDF2 Hashed Secret will follow 9 specifies a SCRYPT Hashed secret will follow - On R2, privilage mode
ssh -l user1 192.168.1.1(i.e. Trying to access R1 from R2 via ssh) and enter the password and it should work :D
