This screen lets you enter a new enable secret and a text banner for the router.
The enable secret is an encrypted password that provides administrator-level
access to all functions of the router. It is vital that the secret be secure and difficult
to crack. Your secret must be a minimum of six characters long, and it is
recommended that you include both alphabetic and numeric characters and that
you do not use a word that can be found in a dictionary, or that might be personal
information about yourself that someone might be able to guess.
The text banner will be displayed whenever anyone connects to your router using
Telnet or SSH. The text banner is an important security consideration because it
is a method of notifying unauthorized individuals that access to your router is
prohibited. in some jurisdictions, this is a requirement for civil and/or criminal
prosecution.
Enter the new enable secret in this field.
Re-enter the new enable secret in this field for verification.
