IT Questions Bank › Category: CCNP › A technician configured a switch with console, enable secret, and VTY passwords. The service password-encryption command was then used to encrypt all unencrypted passwords. What happens if the technician issues the no service password-encryption command?

Question:

Only the enable secret password will remain encrypted.
All passwords, including the enable secret password, will be shown in clear text.
The switch will issue an 'Invalid Error' message.
The passwords will still be encrypted.

Explanation: After the service password-encryption command was issued, there is no way to present the passwords again in clear text. The no service password-encryption command stops any new passwords from being encrypted.
