DES-6500:4#

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 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/TACACS+/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

Only administrator-level users can issue this command.

 

 

Example usage:

To enable administrator privileges on the Switch:

DES-6500:4#enable admin

Password: ******

DES-6500:4#

config admin local_enable

Purpose

Used to configure the local enable password for administrator level

 

privileges.

Syntax

config admin local_enable <password 15>

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,

 

the user will be prompted to enter the password configured here,

 

that is set locally on the Switch.
