DAS-3600 Series Ethernet over VDSL Switch CLI Reference Manual
enable admin
Purpose Used to promote user level privileges to administrator level privileges.
Syntax enable admin
Description This command is for users who have logged on to the Switch on the normal user level, to
become promoted to the administrator level. After logging on to the Switch users will have
only user level privileges. To gain access to administrator level privileges, the user will enter
this command and will have to enter an authentication password. Possible authentication
methods for this function include TACACS, XTACACS, , RADIUS, user defined
server groups, local enable (local account on the Switch), or no authentication (
none ).
Because XTACACS and TACACS do not support the enable function, the user must create a
special account on the server host which has the username “enable”, and a password
configured by the administrator that will support the “enable” function. This function becomes
inoperable when the authentication policy is disabled.
Parameters None.
Restrictions
None.
Example usage:
To enable administrator privileges on the Switch:
DAS-3626:admin#enable admin
Password: ******
DAS-3626:admin#
config admin local_enable
Purpose Used to configure the local enable password for administrator level privileges.
Syntax config admin local_enable
Description This command will configure the locally enabled password for the enable admin command.
When a user chooses the local_enable method to promote user level privileges to
administrator privileges, he or she will be prompted to enter the password configured here
that is set locally on the Switch.
Parameters
<password 15>

After entering this command, the user will be prompted to enter the old
