To configure 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: specifies 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
configuration file 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
configuration file of another Dell Networking system.
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 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 Networking system, combine the file-origin syntax for a remote file location with the file-destination
syntax for a local file location.

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.
