Service Manual

• enable password stores the password in the running/startup conguration using a DES encryption method.
• enable secret is stored in the running/startup conguration in using a stronger, MD5 encryption method.
Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.
To congure an enable password, use the following command.
• Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
enable [password | secret] [level level] [encryption-type] password
– level: is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required
– encryption-type: species how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not required.
* 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.
* 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a DES hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the
conguration le of another Dell Networking system.
* 5 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using an MD5 hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the
conguration le of another Dell Networking system.
Conguration File Management
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy les on the system from EXEC Privilege
mode.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying les 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 Networking OS Command Reference .
• To copy a local le to a remote system, combine the le-origin syntax for a local le location with the le-destination syntax for a
remote le location.
• To copy a remote le to Dell Networking system, combine the le-origin syntax for a remote le location with the le-destination
syntax for a local le location.
Table 3. Forming a copy Command
Location source-le-url Syntax destination-le-url Syntax
For a remote le location:
FTP server
copy ftp://
username:password@{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/filename
ftp://
username:password@{hostip |
hostname}/ filepath/filename
For a remote le location:
TFTP server
copy tftp://{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/ filename
tftp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
For a remote le location:
SCP server
copy scp://{hostip |
hostname}/filepath/ filename
scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a le from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a le 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 congured.
