- level level: Specify a level from 0 to 15. Level 15 includes all levels. - encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text. - password: Enter a string. To change only the password for the enable command, configure only the password parameter. To view the configuration for the enable secret command, use the show running-config command in EXEC Privilege mode. In custom-configured privilege levels, the enable command is always available. No matter what privilege level you use on the system, you can enter the enable 15 command to access and configure all CLIs. Obscuring Passwords and Keys By default, the service password-encryption command stores encrypted passwords. For greater security, you can also use the service obscure-passwords command to prevent a user from reading the passwords and keys, including RADIUS, TACACS+ keys, router authentication strings, VRRP authentication by obscuring this information. Passwords and keys are stored encrypted in the configuration file and by default are displayed in the encrypted form when the configuration is displayed. Enabling the service obscure-passwords command displays asterisks instead of the encrypted passwords and keys. This command prevents a user from reading these passwords and keys by obscuring this information with asterisks. Password obscuring masks the password and keys for display only but does not change the contents of the file. The string of asterisks is the same length as the encrypted string for that line of configuration. To verify that you have successfully obscured passwords and keys, use the show running-config command or show startup-config command. If you are using role-based access control (RBAC), only the system administrator and security administrator roles can enable the service obscure-password command. To enable the obscuring of passwords and keys, use the following command. • Turn on the obscuring of passwords and keys in the configuration.

Within the Dell Networking OS, commands have certain privilege levels. With the privilege command, you can change the default level or you can reset their privilege level back to the default. • Assign the launch keyword (for example, configure) for the keyword's command mode. • If you assign only the first keyword to the privilege level, all commands beginning with that keyword are also assigned to the privilege level. If you enter the entire command, the software assigns the privilege level to that command only. Security 917
