Configuring Line Local Password Authentication To enable password authentication on a line, the following two commands are required under line configuration mode: ■ password password to configure the password ■ login to enable password checking at login

AM17212 is correct you have to have the login command

To enable password authentication on a line (con/vty/aux), the following two commands are required under line configuration mode: • password .....password to configure the password • login............ to enable password checking at login

If you try to issue the command "login" under a vty line before configuring a password on that line, an error message will be displayed "% Login disabled on line 2, until 'password' is set." We should first configure the password, and then we can use the command "login." Password checking is enabled by default.

login: Ensures that users are prompted for a password when they try to log in. password: Specifies the password that users must enter to gain access.

Tested in LAB. 'B' works.

I have tried this in EVE-NG lab, and this result occured with me: If you set login keyword in line vty, the password will be required when you connect to the remote device. If you don't set login keyword, you will be able to connect to the remote device immediately with no password even you have already written a password in line vty. so B is the correct answer.

B is correct If the command is simply "login" then it uses the password configured with the password command under the VTY configuration. If the command is "login local" then it asks for a username and password based on the local user database regardless of whether or not the password was used. https://notes.networklessons.com/security-authentication-on-vty-lines#:~:text=If%20the%20command,password%20was%20used.

The login command prompts for username authentication in addition to the password. Since the requirement specifies that only a password should be required for device authentication, the login command is unnecessary and doesn't meet the specified criteria. Therefore, option B doesn't fulfill the requirement of allowing access only with a password.

A is correct, "login" is not needed in this scenario

provided answer is correct

Login is enabled by default, and even if it needed to be set, entering it before a password has been configured produces an error (tested in CML).

Leaning towards A... Both would work I think.

correct

Option A is the only correct answer here.

Seems login command is enabled by default. Both A and B looks okay

Its between A and B, Leaning towards A since the question states that only a password is required. B specifies "login" under vty configuration. Doest that mean that it will prompt the user to enter a username and password? however there is no username configured
