Configure the Management Route
Define a path from the S4820T to the network from which you are accessing the
S4820T remotely. Management routes are separate from IP routes and are used
to manage the S4820T through the management port.
To configure a management route, follow this step:
Configure the Username and Password
To access the system remotely, configure a system username and password.
To configure a username and password, follow this step:
Configure the Enable Password
Access EXEC Privilege mode using the
enable
command. EXEC Privilege
mode is unrestricted by default. As a basic security measure, configure a
password. There are two types of enable passwords:
•
enable password—stores the password in the running/startup configuration
using a data encryption standard (DES)-encryption method.
•
enable secret—stores the running/startup configuration using a stronger,
MD5-encryption method.
Dell Force10 recommends using the enable secret password.
