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.

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.
