Configure the Enable Password

The EXEC Privilege mode is accessed by the enable command. Configure a

password as a basic security measure. When using a console connection, EXEC

Privilege mode is unrestricted by default; it cannot be reached by a VTY

connection if no password is configured. 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

Privilege mode.

The Default VLAN is part of the system startup configuration, and is by default,

VLAN 1. You may make another VLAN the Default VLAN. The Default

VLAN cannot be deleted, disabled, or configured (you cannot assign it an IP

address), and only untagged interfaces can belong to it.

When an interface is configured, a switchport automatically places it in the

default VLAN as an untagged interface. All switchports must belong to at least

one VLAN, so to remove a switchport from the Default VLAN, you must place

it as tagged or untagged in some other VLAN, or remove the switchport

configuration.
