Configure a Management Route
Define a path from the Z9500 to the network from which you are accessing the system remotely. Management routes are
separate from IP routes and are only used to manage the Z9500 through the management port.
● Configure a management route to the network from which you are accessing the system.
CONFIGURATION mode

○ encryption-type: specifies how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not required.
￭ 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.
￭ 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a Type 7 hash. Obtaining the encrypted password from
the configuration of another Dell Networking system.
Configuring the Enable Password
Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a
password as a basic security measure.
There are two types of enable passwords:
● enable password stores the password in the running/startup configuration using a DES encryption method.
● enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration in using a stronger, MD5 encryption method.
Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.
To configure an enable password, use the following command.
● Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
