Setting The Switch Enable Password; Setting The Enable Password For The First Time - D-Link DWS-1008 - AirPremier MobileLAN Switch Product Manual

Setting the Switch Enable Password

There is one enable password for the entire switch. You can optionally change the enable password
from the default.
Caution: D-Link recommends that you change the enable password from the default (no password) to
prevent unauthorized users from entering configuration commands.

Setting the Enable Password for the First Time

To set the enable password for the first time:
1. At the enabled prompt, type set enablepass.
2. At the "Enter old password" prompt, press Enter.
3. At the "Enter new password" prompt, enter an enable password of up to 32 alphanumeric
characters with no spaces. The password is not displayed as you type it.
Note: The enable password is case-sensitive.
4. Type the password again to confirm it. MSS lets you know the password is set.
DWS-1008# set enablepass
Enter old password:
Enter new password:
Retype new password:
Password changed
Caution: Be sure to use a password that you will remember. If you lose the enable
password, the only way to restore it causes the system to return to its default settings and
wipes out any saved configuration.
5. Store the configuration into nonvolatile memory by typing the following command:
DWS-1008# save config
success: configuration saved.
