Enter the Initial Configuration Information
To set up the switch, assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with
the local routers and the Internet.
The minimal configuration provided here does not cover most of the features; it simply allows you to perform other
configuration tasks using a Telnet connection from your management network.
You need this information from your network administrator:
● Switch IP address
● Subnet mask (IP netmask)
● Default gateway (router)
● Enable secret password
● Enable password
● Telnet password
Configuring the Enable Password
Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a
password as a basic security measure.
There are three types of enable passwords:
● enable password is stored in the running/startup configuration using a DES encryption method.
● enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration using MD5 encryption method.
● enable sha256-password is stored in the running/startup configuration sha256-based encryption method (PBKDF2).
Dell Networking recommends using the enable sha256-password password.
To configure 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: specifies how you input the password, is 0 by default, and is not required.
￭ 0 is to imput the password in clear text.
