Response timeout – The configured time allotted for the Switch to wait
for a response of authentication from the user attempting to log in from
the command line interface or telnet interface.
User attempts − The maximum number of attempts the user may try to
become authenticated by the Switch, before being locked out.

DES-3200-28:4#
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.
