Conguring the Enable Password
Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Congure a password as a
basic security measure.
There are three types of enable passwords:
• enable password is stored in the running/startup conguration using a DES encryption method.
• enable secret is stored in the running/startup conguration using MD5 encryption method.
• enable sha256-password is stored in the running/startup conguration using sha256-based encryption method (PBKDF2).
Dell Networking recommends using the enable sha256-password password.
To congure 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: species 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
conguration le of another device.
◦ 7 is to input a password that is already encrypted using DES encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
conguration le of another device.
◦ 8 is to input a password that is already encrypted using sha256-based encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from
the conguration le of another device.
Manage Conguration Files
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy les 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 les.
The system stores les on the internal Flash by default, but can be congured to store les elsewhere.
To view le system information, use the following command.
• View information about each le 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, le
structure, media type, read/write privileges for each storage device in use.
