DES-1210-52/ME L2 Metro Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide
To promote user level privileges to administrator level privileges.
enable admin
The enable admin command enables a user to be granted
administrative privileges on to the Switch. After logging on to the
Switch, users have only 'user' level privileges. To gain access to
administrator level privileges, the user may enter this command. The
system then prompts for an authentication password. Possible
authentication methods for this function include TACACS,
TACACS+, RADIUS, user defined server groups, local enable (local
account on the Switch), or no authentication (none). Because
TACACS does 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.
None.
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.

To configure the local_enable password for administrator level
privileges.
config admin local_enable
The config admin local_enable command changes the locally
enabled password for the local_enable admin command. When a
user chooses the 'local_enable' method to promote user level
privileges to administrator privileges, the user is prompted to enter
the password configured here.
After entering the config admin local_enable command, the user is
prompted to enter the old password, then a new password in a string
of no more than 15 alphanumeric characters, and finally prompted to
enter the new password again for confirmation. See the example
below.
None.
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
