Console Access

The console port is designed to give physical access to the router to permit initial configurations and disaster recovery. Anybody having console access can completely wipe or reconfigure the files, so, for this reason, the console port should be protected with a password by adding either a password or a local username and password, as illustrated below:

  • Add a password

Router(config)#line console 0

Router(config-line)#password cisco

Router(config-line)#login

 

  • Or add a local username and password

Router(config)#username paul password cisco

Router(config)#line console . . .
