Conguring the Enable Password
Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Congure a password as a
basic security measure.
There are three types of enable passwords:
• enable password is stored in the running/startup conguration using a DES encryption method.
• enable secret is stored in the running/startup conguration using MD5 encryption method.
• enable sha256-password is stored in the running/startup conguration using sha256-based encryption method (PBKDF2).
Dell Networking recommends using the enable sha256-password password.
To congure an enable password, use the following command.
• Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
enable [password | secret | sha256-password] [level level] [encryption-type] password
• level: is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required.
• encryption-type: species how you input the password, is 0 by default, and is not required.
• 0 is to input the password in clear text.
• 5 is to input a password that is already encrypted using MD5 encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
conguration le of another device.
• 7 is to input a password that is already encrypted using DES encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
conguration le of another device.
• 8 is to input a password that is already encrypted using sha256-based encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from
the conguration le of another device.
Conguration File Management
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy les on the system from EXEC Privilege mode.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying les is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy source-file-url
destination-file-url.
NOTE
: For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Reference .
• To copy a local le to a remote system, combine the le-origin syntax for a local le location with the le-destination syntax for a remote
le location.
• To copy a remote le to Dell Networking system, combine the le-origin syntax for a remote le location with the le-destination syntax
for a local le location.
