Which command would be used to set the password on a Cisco routers console line?

Almost all Cisco devices use Cisco IOS to operate and Cisco CLI to be managed. The basic CLI commands for all of them are the same, which simplifies Cisco device management. Here is a Cisco commands cheat sheet that describes the basic commands for configuring, securing and troubleshooting Cisco network devices.

Basic Configuration Commands

Command 

Purpose

enable Logs you into enable mode, which is also known as user exec mode or privileged mode
configure terminal Logs you into configuration mode
interface fastethernet/number Enters interface configuration mode for the specified fast ethernet interface
reload An exec mode command that reboots a Cisco switch or router
hostname name Sets a host name to the current Cisco network device
copy from-location to-location An enable mode command that copies files from one file location to another
copy running-config startup-config An enable mode command that saves the active config, replacing the startup config when a Cisco network device initializes
copy startup-config running-config An enable mode command that merges the startup config with the currently active config in RAM

write erase

erase startup-config

An enable mode command that deletes the startup config
ip address ip-address mask Assigns an IP address and a subnet mask

shutdown

no shutdown

Used in interface configuration mode. “Shutdown” shuts down the interface, while “no shutdown” brings up the interface.
ip default-gateway ip_address Sets the default gateway on a Cisco device
show running-config An enable mode command that displays the current configuration
description name-string A config interface command to describe or name an interface
show running-config interface interface slot/number An enable mode command to display the running configuration for a specific interface
show ip interface [type number] Displays the usability status of interfaces that are configured for IP
ip name-server serverip-1 serverip-2 A configure mode command that sets the IP addresses of DNS servers
 

Troubleshooting Commands

ping {hostname | system-address} [source source-address] Used in enable mode to diagnose basic network connectivity
speed {10 | 100 | 1000 | auto} An interface mode command that manually sets the speed to the specified value or negotiates it automatically
duplex {auto | full | half} An interface mode command that manually sets duplex to half, full or auto

cdp run

no cdp run

A configuration mode command that enables or disables Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) for the device
show mac address-table Displays the MAC address table
show cdp Shows whether CDP is enabled globally
show cdp neighbors[detail] Lists summary information about each neighbor connected to this device; the “detail” option lists detailed information about each neighbor
show interfaces Displays detailed information about interface status, settings and counters
show interface status Displays the interface line status
show interfaces switchport Displays a large variety of configuration settings and current operational status, including VLAN trunking details.
show interfaces trunk Lists information about the currently operational trunks and the VLANs supported by those trunks

show vlan

show vlan brief

Lists each VLAN and all interfaces assigned to that VLAN but does not include trunks
show vtp status Lists the current VTP status, including the current mode
 

Routing and VLAN Commands

ip routenetwork-number network-mask {ip-address | interface} Sets a static route in the IP routing table
router rip Enables a Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing process, which places you in router configuration mode
network ip-address In router configuration mode, associates a network with a RIP routing process
version 2 In router configuration mode, configures the software to receive and send only RIP version 2 packets
no auto-summary In router configuration mode, disables automatic summarization
default-information originate In router configuration mode, generates a default route into RIP
passive-interface interface In router configuration mode, sets only that interface to passive RIP mode. In passive RIP mode, RIP routing updates are accepted by, but not sent out of, the specified interface.
show ip rip database Displays the contents of the RIP routing database
ip nat [inside | outside] An interface configuration mode command to designate that traffic originating from or destined for the interface is subject to NAT
ip nat inside source {list{access-list-number | access-list-name}} interface type number[overload] A configuration mode command to establish dynamic source translation. Use of the “list” keyword enables you to use an ACL to identify the traffic that will be subject to NAT. The “overload” option enables the router to use one global address for many local addresses.
ip nat inside source static local-ip global-ip A configuration mode command to establish a static translation between an inside local address and an inside global address
vlan Creates a VLAN and enters VLAN configuration mode for further definitions
switchport access vlan Sets the VLAN that the interface belongs to.
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q Specifies 802.1Q encapsulation on the trunk link.
switchport access Assigns this port to a VLAN
vlan vlan-id [name vlan-name] Configures a specific VLAN name (1 to 32 characters)
switchport mode { access | trunk } Configures the VLAN membership mode of a port. The access port is set to access unconditionally and operates as a non-trunking, single VLAN interface that sends and receives non-encapsulated (non-tagged) frames. An access port can be assigned to only one VLAN.
The trunk port sends and receives encapsulated (tagged) frames that identify the VLAN of origination. A trunk is a point-to-point link between two switches or between a switch and a router.
switchport trunk {encapsulation { dot1q } Sets the trunk characteristics when the interface is in trunking mode. In this mode, the switch supports simultaneous tagged and untagged traffic on a port.
encapsulation dot1q vlan-id A configuration mode command that defines the matching criteria to map 802.1Q frames ingress on an interface to the appropriate service instance
 

DHCP Commands

ip address dhcp A configuration mode command to acquire an IP address on an interface via DHCP
ip dhcp pool name A configuration mode command to configure a DHCP address pool on a DHCP server and enter DHCP pool configuration mode
domain-name domain Used in DHCP pool configuration mode to specify the domain name for a DHCP client
network network-number [mask] Used in DHCP pool configuration mode to configure the network number and mask for a DHCP address pool primary or secondary subnet on a Cisco IOS DHCP server
ip dhcp excluded-address ip-address [last-ip-address] A configuration mode command to specify IP addresses that a DHCP server should not assign to DHCP clients
ip helper-address address An interface configuration mode command to enable forwarding of UDP broadcasts, including BOOTP, received on an interface
default-router address[address2 ... address8] Used in DHCP pool configuration mode to specify the default router list for a DHCP client
 

Security Commands

passwordpass-value Lists the password that is required if the login command (with no other parameters) is configured

ip domain-name name Configures a DNS domain name 
crypto key generate rsa A configuration mode command that creates and stores (in a hidden location in flash memory) the keys that are required by SSH
transport input {telnet | ssh} Used in vty line configuration mode, defines whether Telnet or SSH access is allowed into this switch. Both values can be specified in a single command to allow both Telnet and SSH access (default settings).
access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} source [source-wildcard] [log] A configuration mode command that defines a standard IP access list
access-class Restricts incoming and outgoing connections between a particular vty (into a basic Cisco device) and the addresses in an access list
ip access-list {standard | extended} {access-list-name | access-list-number} A configuration mode command that defines an IP access list by name or number
permit source [source-wildcard] Used in ACL configuration mode to set conditions to allow a packet to pass a named IP ACL. To remove a permit condition from an ACL, use the “no” form of this command.
deny source [source-wildcard] Used in ACL configuration mode to set conditions in a named IP ACL that will deny packets. To remove a deny condition from an ACL, use the “no” form of this command.
ntp peer  Used in global configuration mode to configure the software clock to synchronize a peer or to be synchronized by a peer
switchport port-security Used in interface configuration mode to enable port security on the interface
switchport port-security maximum maximum Used in interface configuration mode to set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses on the port
switchport port-security mac-address {mac-addr | {sticky [mac-addr]}}  Used in interface configuration mode to add a MAC address to the list of secure MAC addresses. The “sticky” option configures the MAC addresses as sticky on the interface.
switchport port-security violation {shutdown | restrict | protect} Used in interface configuration mode to set the action to be taken when a security violation is detected
show port security [interface interface-id] Displays information about security options configured on the interface
 

Monitoring and Logging Commands

logging ip address Configures the IP address of the host that will receive the system logging (syslog) messages

show logging Enable mode command that displays the state of system logging (syslog) and the contents of the standard system logging buffer.
terminal monitor An enable mode command that tells Cisco IOS to send a copy of all syslog messages, including debug messages, to the Telnet or SSH user who issues this command

Which command would be used to set the password on a cisco router's console line?

You can set the password of vty lines by the following steps: Enter global configuration mode of the CISCO router. Put the command line vty 0 4 to the router. Provide the password by using password command.

Which command would be used to set the privileged mode password cisco?

To set a local password to control access to various privilege levels, use the enable password command in global configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the password requirement.

What is the correct order and commands for changing the router console password?

Here we are configuring Line Console Password. Router>en. ... .
Here we are configuring Enable passwordRouter#config t. Enter configuration commands, one per line. ... .
Now I will do Secret Password. ... .
Now I will do Telnet Password. ... .
Now I do Auxiliary Password..

Which command is used to manually encrypt passwords on a cisco router?

Use the key config-key command with the password encryption aes command to configure and enable the password (symmetric cipher AES is used to encrypt the keys).
