Configure a system username and password.
Configure the Enable Password
EXEC Privilege mode is accessed by the
enable
command. Configure a
password as a basic security measure. When using a console connection, EXEC
Privilege mode is unrestricted by default; it cannot be reached by a VTY
connection if you have not configured a password. 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 by using a
stronger, MD5 encryption method.
Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.
