What is a good password recommendation for a Cisco router?

  • Use the service password-encryption command to protect a password used to log into a remote device across the network.
  • Use a minimum of 7 characters.
  • Zeroize all passwords used.
  • Use one or more spaces within a multiword phrase.

Explanation: Strong password guidelines for Cisco routers include:

  • Use a minimum password length of eight or more characters remembering that longer is better.
  • A password cannot begin with a space but spaces within a passphrase are allowed on a Cisco router.
  • The service password-encryption command can only protect passwords being viewed within the configuration, not as they are sent across the network.
