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 acess 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+, 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-3550:4#enable admin
Password: ******

command. When a user chooses the “

”
