Installing the Software 17
Configure the Enable Password
Access the EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. The EXEC
Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Configure a password as a basic
security measure. 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.
Create a Port-based VLAN
The Default VLAN as VLAN 1 is part of the system startup configuration and
does not require configuration. To configure a port-based VLAN, you must
create the VLAN and then add physical interfaces or port channel (LAG)
interfaces to the VLAN.
Use the show vlan command in the EXEC Privilege mode to view the
configured VLANs.
