To congure 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: species 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
conguration le of another device.
• 7 is to input a password that is already encrypted using DES encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
conguration 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 conguration le of another device.
Conguration File Management
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy les on the system from EXEC Privilege mode.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying les 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 .
• To copy a local le to a remote system, combine the le-origin syntax for a local le location with the le-destination syntax for a remote
le location.
• To copy a remote le to Dell Networking system, combine the le-origin syntax for a remote le location with the le-destination syntax
for a local le location.

copy Command
Location source-le-url Syntax destination-le-url Syntax
For a remote le location:
FTP server
copy ftp://
username:password@{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/filename
ftp://username:password@{hostip
| hostname}/ filepath/filename
For a remote le location:
TFTP server
copy tftp://{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/ filename
tftp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
For a remote le location:
SCP server
copy scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/ filename
scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a le from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a le from one location to the same location.
• When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is congured.
