enable

Description

This user mode command switches the controller into enable mode. The enable mode allows you to access privileged

commands.

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

Dell

PowerConnect W-Series 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.
