CLI NAVIGATION COMMANDS
ENABLE
(PRIVILEGED EXEC MODE)
enable (Privileged Exec mode)
Overview This command enters the Privileged Exec mode and optionally changes the
privilege level for a session. If a privilege level is not specified then the maximum
privilege level (15) is applied to the session. If the optional privilege level is omitted
then only users with the maximum privilege level can access Privileged Exec mode
without providing the password as specified by the enable password or enable
secret (deprecated) commands. If no password is specified then only users with the
maximum privilege level set with the username command can assess Privileged
Exec mode.
Syntax
enable [<privilege-level>]
Mode User Exec
Usage notes Many commands are available from the Privileged Exec mode that configure
operating parameters for the device, so you should apply password protection to
the Privileged Exec mode to prevent unauthorized use. Passwords can be
encrypted but then cannot be recovered. Note that non-encrypted passwords are
shown in plain text in configurations.
The username command sets the privilege level for the user. After login, users are
given access to privilege level 1. Users access higher privilege levels with the
enable (Privileged Exec mode) command. If the privilege level specified is higher
than the users configured privilege level specified by the username command,
then the user is prompted for the password for that level.
Note that a separate password can be configured for each privilege level using the
enable password and the enable secret (deprecated) commands from the Global
Configuration mode. The service password-encryption command encrypts
passwords configured by the enable password and the enable secret (deprecated)
commands, so passwords are not shown in plain text in configurations.
Example The following example shows the use of the enable command to enter the
Privileged Exec mode (note the change in the command prompt).
awplus> enable
awplus#
The following example shows the enable command enabling access the
Privileged Exec mode for users with a privilege level of 7 or greater. Users with a
