Dell EMC Networking OS Configuration Guide for the S5048F–ON System 9.14.2.8

Configuring the Enable Password Command

To configure Dell EMC Networking OS, use the enable command to enter EXEC Privilege level 15. After entering the command, Dell EMC Networking OS 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 clear text, 7 for DES-encrypted text, or 8 for sha256-based 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 Dell EMC Networking OS, you can enter the enable 15 command to access and configure all CLIs.
