console protection on a cisco router
I am testing for console protection on a Cisco 2610 router.
The console port of a typical cisco router has 2 levels of protection:
1 being the 'login' or 'view' password, and the second being the 'enable' password where you can actually re-configure the router. Best way to protect the router from a console port hack/access is to secure it physically and to configure both access and enable passwords on it.My question is: Does the router automatically wipe out the config when you break in, can someone see the config when it breaks? If it does not do this automatically, is there a config setting that says upon break-in, remove all configs?
