Version Description

8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.

Usage

Information

To control access to command modes, use this command to define a password for a level and use the

privilege level (CONFIGURATION mode) command.

Passwords must meet the following criteria:

● Start with a letter, not a number.

● Passwords can have a regular expression as the password. To create a password with a regular

expression in it, use CNTL + v prior to entering regular expression. For example, to create the

password abcd]e, you type “abcd CNTL v ]e”. When the password is created, you do not use the

CNTL + v key combination and enter “abcd]e”.

NOTE: The question mark (?) is not a supported character.

Commands

privilege level (CONFIGURATION mode) — controls access to the command modes within the switch.

enable restricted

Allows Dell Networking technical support to access restricted commands.

Syntax

enable restricted [encryption-type] password

To disallow access to restricted commands, use the no enable restricted command.
