Description
This command is used to enter the administrator level privilege. Promote the "user" privilege level
to "admin" level. When the user enters this command, the authentication method tacacs, xtacacs,
tacacs+, user-defined server groups, local_enable or none will be used to authenticate the user.
Because TACACS, XTACACS and RADIUS don't support "enable" function in itself, if user wants
to use either one of these 3 protocols to do enable authentication, user must create a special
account on the server host first, which has a username "enable" and then configure its password
as the enable password to support "enable" function.
This command can not be used when authentication policy is disabled.
