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 |

Example usage:
To enable administrator privileges on the Switch:
DES-6500:4#enable admin
Password: ******
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. |
