Configuring the Enable Password Command
To configure the Dell Networking OS, use the enable command to enter EXEC Privilege level 15. After
entering the command, the system requests that you enter a password.
Privilege levels are not assigned to passwords, rather passwords are assigned to a privilege level. You can
always change a password for any privilege level. To change to a different privilege level, enter the
enable command, then the privilege level. If you do not enter a privilege level, the default level 15 is
assumed.
To configure a password for a specific privilege level, use the following command.
• Configure a password for a privilege level.
CONFIGURATION mode
enable password [level level] [encryption-mode] password
Configure the optional and required parameters:
–level level: Specify a level from 0 to 15. Level 15 includes all levels.
–encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text.
–password: Enter a string.
To change only the password for the enable command, configure only the password parameter.
To view the configuration for the enable secret command, use the show running-config
command in EXEC Privilege mode.
In custom-configured privilege levels, the enable command is always available. No matter what privilege
level you entered, you can enter the enable 15 command to access and configure all CLIs.
Configuring Custom Privilege Levels
In addition to assigning privilege levels to the user, you can configure the privilege levels of commands so
that they are visible in different privilege levels.
Within the Dell Networking OS, commands have certain privilege levels. With the privilege command,
you can change the default level or you can reset their privilege level back to the default. Assign the
launch keyword (for example, configure) for the keyword’s command mode.
To assign commands and passwords to a custom privilege level, use the following commands. You must
be in privilege level 15.
1. Assign a user name and password.
