enable-admin
Syntax enable-admin
Context <global>
Description NOTE: See the description for the admin-password command. If the admin-password is config-
ured in the config>system>security>password context, then any user can enter a special administra-
tive mode by entering the enable-admin command.
enable-admin is in the default profile. By default, all users are given access to this command.
Once the enable-admin command is entered, the user is prompted for a password. If the password
matches, the user is given unrestricted access to all the commands.
The minimum length of the password is determined by the minimum-length command. The com-
plexity requirements for the password is determined by the complexity command.
The following displays a password configuration example:
A:ALA-1>config>system>security# info
----------------------------------------------

aging 365
minimum-length 8
attempts 5 time 5 lockout 20
admin-password "rUYUz9XMo6I" hash
exit
...

A:ALA-1>config>system>security#
There are two ways to verify that a user is in the enable-admin mode:
• show users — Administrator can know which users are in this mode.
• Enter the enable-admin command again at the root prompt and an error message will be
returned.
