Set 'password' for 'enable secret'

Beschreibung

Use the enable secret command to provide an additional layer of security over the enable password. The enable secret command provides better security by storing the enable secret password using a nonreversible cryptographic function. The added layer of security encryption provides is useful in environments where the password crosses the network or is stored on a TFTP server. In Cisco IOS XE, password types 8 and 9 are considered more secure than older password types because they use strong hashing algorithms. - Type 8 passwords use PBKDF2 with SHA-256, which is an improvement over older MD5-based hashing methods. Audited against the output of 'show running-config' (run 'terminal length 0' first; do not use 'show running-config all' or 'show startup-config').
