Console Password
To set the console password, use the line console 0 command. But look at what happened when I tried to type line console 0 ? from the aux line configuration—I received an error.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)/BootP (Bootstrap Protocol)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) gives IP addresses to hosts. It allows easier administration and works well in small-to-even-very-large network environments. All types of hardware can be used as a DHCP server, including a Cisco router.
DHCP differs from BootP in that BootP gives an IP address to a host, but the host’s hardware address must be entered manually in ...

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), answering our ubiquitous call to e-mail, uses a spooled, or queued, method of mail delivery. Once a message has been sent to a destination, the message is spooled to a device—usually a disk. The server software at the destination posts a vigil, regularly checking this queue for messages. When it detects them, it proceeds to deliver ...

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is the stripped-down, stock version of FTP, but it’s the protocol of choice if you know exactly what you want and where to find it, plus it’s so easy to use and it’s fast too! It doesn’t give you the abundance of functions that FTP does, though. TFTP has no directory-browsing abilities; it can do nothing ...
