3.10.2.1.5 Global Password Commands
enable-admin
Syntax enable-admin
Context <global>
Description
The enable-admin command is in the default profile. By default, all users are given access
to this command.
Once the enable-admin command is entered, the user is prompted for a password. If the
password matches, the user is given unrestricted access to all the commands.
There are two ways to verify that a user is in the enable-admin mode:
• enter the show users command — the Administrator can see which users are in this
mode
• enter the enable-admin command again at the root prompt and an error message will
be returned
