DGS3100#
local_enable admin
Purpose To promote user level privileges to administrator level privileges.
Syntax
local_enable admin
Description The local_enable admin command enables a user to be granted
administrative privileges on to the Switch. After logging on to the
Switch users will have only user level privileges. To gain acess to
administrator level privileges, the user may enter this command. The
system then prompts for an authentication password. Possible
authentication methods for this function include TACACS,
XTACACS, TACACS+, RADIUS, user defined server groups, local
enable (local account on the Switch), or no authentication (none).
Because XTACACS and TACACS do not support the enable
function, the user must create a special account on the server host
which has the username “enable”, and a password configured by the
administrator that will support the “enable” function. This function
becomes inoperable when the authentication policy is disabled.
Parameters None.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable administrator privileges on the Switch:
DGS3100# local_enable admin
Password: ******
DGS3100#
config admin local_enable
Purpose To configure the local_enable password for administrator level
privileges.
Syntax
config admin local_enable
Description The config admin local_enable command changes the locally
enabled password for the local_enable admin command. When a
user chooses the “local_enable” method to promote user level
privileges to administrator privileges, the user is prompted to enter
the password configured here.
After entering the config admin local_enable command, the user is
prompted to enter the old password, then a new password in a string
of no more than 15 alphanumeric characters, and finally prompted to
enter the new password again for confirmation. See the example
below.
