Enable Admin

The Enable Admin window is for users who have logged on to the Switch on the normal user level, and wish to be
promoted to the administrator level. After logging on to the Switch, users will have only user level privileges. To gain
access to administrator level privileges, the user will open this window and will have to enter an authentication password.
Possible authentication methods for this function include TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS, user defined server
groups, local enable (local account on the Switch), or no authentication (none). Because XTACACS and TACACS do not
support the enable function, the user must create a special account on the server host, which has the username "enable", and
a password configured by the administrator that will support the "enable" function. This function becomes inoperable when
the authentication policy is disabled.
When the Enable Admin window appears, click the Enable Admin button revealing a window for the user to enter
authentication (password, username). A successful entry will promote the user to Administrator level privileges on the
Switch and the following window will be displayed.
