To redisplay a command you previously entered, press the up arrow key. You
can continue to press the up arrow key for more commands. The commands
are displayed in the reverse order from which they were entered.
Because many privileged EXEC commands are used to set operating parameters,
you should password-protect these commands to prevent unauthorized use.
You use two commands to do this:
•
enable secret password (a very secure, encrypted password)
enable password (a less secure, unencrypted password)
•
You must enter an enable secret password to gain access to privileged EXEC
mode commands.
For maximum security, the passwords should be different. If you enter the same
password for both during the setup process, your router accepts the passwords, but
warns you that they should be different.
