Description
This user mode command switches the controller into enable mode.
Usage Guidelines
To enter enable mode, you are prompted for the password configured during the controller’s initial setup.
Passwords display as asterisks (*) when you enter them. To change the password, use the config mode “enable
secret” command. If you lose or forget the enable mode password, resetting the default admin user password also
resets the enable mode password to “enable”. See the ArubaOS User Guide for more information about resetting
the admin and enable mode passwords.
When you are in enable mode, the CLI prompt ends with the hash (#) character.
Example
The following example allows you to enter enable mode on the controller.
(host) >enable
Password: ******
