Configure the Management Route

to manage the S4820T through the management port.
To configure a management route, follow this step:
Configure the Username and Password
To access the system remotely, configure a system username and password.
To configure a username and password, follow this step:
Configure the Enable Password
Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege
mode is unrestricted by default. As a basic security measure, configure a
password. There are two types of enable passwords:
• enable password—stores the password in the running/startup configuration
using a data encryption standard (DES)-encryption method.
• enable secret—stores the running/startup configuration using a stronger,
MD5-encryption method.
Dell Force10 recommends using the enable secret password.
