enable admin
Purpose Used to promote user level privileges to administrator level privileges.
Syntax
enable admin
Description
This command is for users who have logged on to the Switch on the
normal user level, to become promoted to the administrator level.
After logging on to the Switch users will have only user level
privileges. To gain access to administrator level privileges, the user
will enter this command and will have to enter an authentication
password. Possible authentication methods for this function include
TACACS, XTACACS, TACACS+, RADIUS, user defined server
groups, local enable (local account on the Switch), or no
authentication (none). Because XTACACS and TACACS do not
support the enable function, the user must create a special account on
the server host which has the username “enable”, and a password
configured by the administrator that will support the “enable” function.
This function becomes inoperable when the authentication policy is
disabled.
Parameters None.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable administrator privileges on the Switch:
DES-3028P:4#enable admin
Password: ******
DES-3028P:4#
config admin local_enable
Purpose Used to configure the local enable password for administrator level
privileges.
Syntax
config admin local_enable
Description This command will configure the locally enabled password for the
enable admin command. When a user chooses the “local_enable”
method to promote user level privileges to administrator privileges,
he or she will be prompted to enter the password configured here
that is set locally on the Switch.
Parameters <password 15> - After entering this command, the user will be
prompted to enter the old password, then a new password in an
alphanumeric string of no more than 15 characters, and finally
prompted to enter the new password again for confirmation. See the
example below.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure the password for the “local_enable” authentication method.
