Configure The Enable Password; Create A Port-Based Vlan - Dell Force10 S4810P Quick Start Manual

Configure the Enable Password

Access the EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. The EXEC
Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a password as a basic
security measure. There are two types of enable passwords:
• enable password stores the password in the running/startup configuration
using a DES encryption method.
• enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration in using a
stronger, MD5 encryption method.
Dell Force10 recommends using the enable secret password.
Task
Create a password to
access EXEC
Privilege mode.

Create a Port-based VLAN

The Default VLAN as VLAN 1 is part of the system startup configuration and
does not require configuration. To configure a port-based VLAN, you must
create the VLAN and then add physical interfaces or port channel (LAG)
interfaces to the VLAN.
Task
Configure a port-based VLAN (if the
vlan-id is different from the Default
VLAN ID) and enter INTERFACE
VLAN mode. After you create a
VLAN, you must assign interfaces in
Layer 2 mode to the VLAN to activate
the VLAN.
Use the show vlan command in the EXEC Privilege mode to view the
configured VLANs.
