Setup Guide

• 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 using sha256-based encryption method (PBKDF2).
Dell EMC 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 input the password in clear text.
• 5 is to input a password that is already encrypted using MD5 encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
configuration file of another device.
• 7 is to input a password that is already encrypted using DES encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password from the
configuration file of another device.
• 8 is to input a password that is already encrypted using sha256-based encryption method. Obtain the encrypted password
from the configuration file of another device.
Configuration File Management
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy files on the system from EXEC Privilege mode.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy source-file-url
destination-file-url.
NOTE:
For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell EMC Networking OS Command Reference .
• To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the file-destination syntax for a
remote file location.
• To copy a remote file to Dell EMC Networking system, combine the file-origin syntax for a remote file location with the file-destination
syntax for a local file location.

For a remote file location:
FTP server
copy ftp://
username:password@{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/filename
ftp://username:password@{hostip
| hostname}/ filepath/filename
For a remote file location:
TFTP server
copy tftp://{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/ filename
tftp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
For a remote file location:
SCP server
copy scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/ filename
scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is configured.
• The usbflash command is supported on the device. Refer to your system’s Release Notes for a list of approved USB vendors.
