enable admin 
Purpose  Used to promote user level privileges to administrator level privileges
Syntax 
enable admin 
This command is for users who have logged on to the Switch on the 
normal user level, to become promoted to the administrator level. 
After logging on to the Switch users will have only user level 
privileges. To gain acess to administrator level privileges, the user 
will enter this command and will have to enter an authentication 
password. Possible authentication methods for this function include 
TACACS, XTACACS, TACACS+, RADIUS, user defined server 
groups, local enable (local account on the Switch), or no 
authentication (none). Because XTACACS and TACACS do 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. 
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
