Configuring the Enable Password

Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege
mode is unrestricted by default.
As a basic security measure, configure a password. 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 — stores the password in the running/startup configuration
using a stronger, MD5-encryption method.
Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.
• Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.
