Configure the Management Route

S4820T remotely. Management routes are separate from IP routes and are used
to manage the S4820T through the management port.
To configure a management route, follow this step:
Task
Configure a
management route to
the network from
which you are
accessing the system.

Configure the Username and Password

To access the system remotely, configure a system username and password.
To configure a username and password, follow this step:
Task
Configure a username
and password to
access the system
remotely.

Configure the Enable Password

Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege
mode is unrestricted by default. As a basic security measure, configure a
password. There are two types of enable passwords:
• enable password—stores the password in the running/startup configuration
using a data encryption standard (DES)-encryption method.
• enable secret—stores the running/startup configuration using a stronger,
MD5-encryption method.
Dell Force10 recommends using the enable secret password.
