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-6500:4#enable admin
Password: ******
DES-6500:4#
config admin local_enable
Purpose Used to configure the local enable password for administrator level
privileges.
Syntax
config admin local_enable <password 15>
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,
the user will be prompted to enter the password configured here,
that is set locally on the Switch.
