10 commands are required for Cisco Router Security Configuration

When talking about configuring a new Cisco router, most configurations depend on the type of the router and the purpose of the service. However, each administrator has his/her own command list for configuring each router correctly. I will share with you the list of ten commands for configuring your own vro.

When talking about configuring a new Cisco router, most configurations depend on the type of the router and the purpose of the service. However, there are some things you should configure on every new Cisco router.

Which command standard do you want Cisco to use on each vro? Each administrator configures the commands of each vro correctly.

This is a list of ten commands that I think you should configure on each vro (no special order ).

Configure a Logon account on the vro

I strongly recommend that you configure a real user name and password account on the vro and vswitch. This means that you need a user and a password to gain access.

In addition, we recommend that you use a secret password for your username, instead of a common password. It uses MD5 encryption to encrypt passwords, and greatly improves security. Example:

Router (config) # username root secret My $ Password

After the user name is configured, you must enable the port using the user name. Example:

Router (config) # line con 0

Router (config-line) # login local

Router (config) # line aux 0

Router (config-line) # login local

Router (config) # line vty 0 4

Router (config-line) # login local
