IP Settings
You will need the following 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
To access EXEC Privilege mode, use the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by
default. Configure a password as a basic security measure.
There are two types of enable passwords:
• enable password — stores the password in the running/startup configuration using a data
encryption standard (DES) encryption method.
• enable secret — is stored in the running/startup configuration in a stronger, MD5 encryption
method.
NOTE: Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.
• Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
CONFIGURATION MODE
enable [password | secret] [level level] [encryption-type]
level is the privilege level and is not required. The default is 15.
encryption-type: specifies how you are inputting the password and is not required. The default is
0.
– 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.
Configuring a Host Name
The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is FTOS. Host names must start with a
letter, end with a letter or digit, and must have characters, letters, digits, and hyphens in the string.
• Create a host name.
