Configure a Management Route

Define a path from the system to the network from which you are accessing the system remotely. Management routes are separate from
IP routes and are only used to manage the system through the management port.
To configure a management route, use the following command.
• Configure a management route to the network from which you are accessing the system.
CONFIGURATION mode
management route ip-address/mask gateway
• ip-address: the network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).
• mask: a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx).
• gateway: the next hop for network traffic originating from the management port.

Configuring a Username and Password

To access the system remotely, configure a system username and password.
To configure a system username and password, use the following command.
• Configure a username and password to access the system remotely.
CONFIGURATION mode
username username password [encryption-type] password
• 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 Type 7 hash. Obtaining the encrypted password from the
configuration of another Dell Networking system.

Configuring the Enable Password

Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a password as a
basic security measure.
There are three types of enable passwords:
• enable password is stored in the running/startup configuration using a DES encryption method.
• enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration using MD5 encryption method.
• enable sha256-password is stored in the running/startup configuration using sha256-based encryption method (PBKDF2).
Dell Networking recommends using the enable sha256-password password.
