Administrator Guide

• enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration using MD5 encryption method.
• enable sha256-password is stored in the running/startup configuration using sha256-based encryption method (PBKDF2).
Dell Networking recommends using the enable sha256-password password.
To configure an enable password, use the following command.
• Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
enable [password | secret | sha256-password] [level level] [encryption-type] password
• level: is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required.
• encryption-type: specifies how you input the password, is 0 by default, and is not required.
• 0 is to input the password in clear text.
• 5 is to input a password that is already encrypted using MD5 encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
configuration file of another device.
• 7 is to input a password that is already encrypted using DES encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
configuration file of another device.
• 8 is to input a password that is already encrypted using sha256-based encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password
from the configuration file of another device.
Manage Configuration Files
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy files on the system from EXEC Privilege mode.
File Storage
The Dell Networking OS can use the internal Flash, external Flash, or remote devices to store files.
The system stores files on the internal Flash by default, but can be configured to store files elsewhere.
To view file system information, use the following command.
• View information about each file system.
EXEC Privilege mode
show file-systems
The output of the show file-systems command in the following example shows the total capacity, amount of free memory, file
structure, media type, read/write privileges for each storage device in use.
Dell#show file-systems

You can change the default file system so that file management commands apply to a particular device or memory.
To change the default directory, use the following command.
• Change the default directory.
EXEC Privilege mode
cd directory
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy source-file-url
destination-file-url.
NOTE:
For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Reference .
