Configuring the Enable Password
Access EXEC Privilege mode using the
enable
command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default.
Configure a password as a basic security measure.
There are two types of enable passwords:
•
enable password
stores the password in the running/startup configuration using a DES encryption
method.
•
enable secret
is stored in the running/startup configuration in using a stronger, MD5 encryption
method.
Dell Networking recommends using the
enable secret
password.
To configure an enable password, use the following command.
• Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
enable [password | secret] [level level ] [ encryption-type ] password
–
level
: is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required
–
encryption-type
: specifies how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not
required.
* 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.
* 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a DES hash. Obtain the encrypted
password from the configuration file of another Dell Networking system.
* 5 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using an MD5 hash. Obtain the
encrypted password from the configuration file of another Dell Networking system.
Configuration File Management
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy files on the
system from EXEC Privilege mode.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format
copy
source-file-url destination-file-url
.
NOTE: For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command
Reference .
• To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the
file-destination syntax for a remote file location.
• To copy a remote file to Dell Networking system, combine the file-origin syntax for a remote file
location with the file-destination syntax for a local file location.
