Configuring the Enable Password

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 password in the running/startup configuration using a stronger, MD5-
encryption method.
Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.
