DGS3100# 
 
local_enable admin 
Purpose  To promote user level privileges to administrator level privileges. 
Syntax 
local_enable admin 
Description The local_enable admin command enables a user to be granted 
administrative privileges on to the Switch. After logging on to the 
Switch, users have only ‘user’ level privileges. To gain access to 
administrator level privileges, the user may enter this command. The 
system then prompts for an authentication password. Possible 
authentication methods for this function include TACACS, 
TACACS+, RADIUS, user defined server groups, local enable (local 
account on the Switch), or no authentication (none). Because 
TACACS does not support the enable function, the user must create 
a special account on the server host which has the username 
‘enable’, and a password configured by the administrator that will 
support the ‘enable’ function. This function becomes inoperable 
when the authentication policy is disabled. 
Parameters None. 
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command. 
Example usage: 
To enable administrator privileges on the Switch: 
DGS3100# local_enable admin 
Password: ****** 
 
DGS3100# 
 
config admin local_enable 
Purpose  To configure the local_enable password for administrator level 
privileges. 
Syntax 
config admin local_enable 
Description The config admin local_enable command changes the locally 
enabled password for the local_enable admin command. When a 
user chooses the ‘local_enable’ method to promote user level 
privileges to administrator privileges, the user is prompted to enter 
the password configured here. 
After entering the config admin local_enable command, the user is 
prompted to enter the old password, then a new password in a string
