22 Installing the Software
Configure a Username and Password
Configure a system username and password to access the system remotely.
Configure the Enable Password
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.
