The user ID and the enable ID for the Dell 81xx switch are in essence the same. If you have set a login ID (for telnet/ssh into the switch), then the enable ID is already set to the same automatically (other switches sometimes require a separate enable ID). The IDs are the same, but the passwords can be different for the User prompt vs. Enable prompt. The enable password is only needed in OMNM if you have activated it on the switch (which is required for most OMNM management). If you have, then enter both the user ID and enable ID with the same ID used when you login to the switch from telnet/ssh, but set both (different) passwords to access the corresponding CLI prompts.
If you didn't set an enable password on the switch, then you can use the telnet/ssh login password for both the user password and the enable password in OMNM, just to be safe, though only the user password should be required.
Rediscover the device, making sure you are using SSH and not telnet authentication. You will also need to authenticate with SNMP as required.
