DES-3800:4#
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 acess 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.
