enable
Description
This user mode command switches the controller into enable mode. The enable mode allows you to access
privileged commands.
Usage Guidelines
To enter enable mode, you are prompted for the password configured during the controller’s initial setup.
Passwords display as asterisks (*) when you enter them.
To change the password, use the config mode enable secret command. If you lose or forget the enable mode
password, resetting the default admin user password also resets the enable mode password to “enable”. See
the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS User Guide for more information about resetting the admin and enable
mode passwords.
When you are in enable mode, the CLI prompt ends with the hash (#) character.
Example
The following example allows you to enter enable mode on the controller.
(host) >enable
Password: ******
