Explanation
In order to fulfill the requirements, you should use the following set of commands: RouterA(config)#service password-encryption RouterA(config)#username cisco password PaS$w0Rd RouterA(config)#enable secret n56e&$te RouterA(config)#line vty 0 4 RouterA(config- line)#login local Answer: D is incorrect. This configuration does not apply password encryption correctly. The command service enable-password- encryption is incorrect. The correct command is service password-encryption. Answer: A is incorrect. This configuration applies the login command to the VTY lines. This would require the password to be set at the VTY Line 0 4 level. This effectively will not configure user- level access for the VTY lines. Answer: B is incorrect. The enable password command is obsolete and considered insecure. The proper command is enable secret followed by the password value.
