Configure the Enable Password The EXEC Privilege mode is accessed by the enable command. Configure a password as a basic security measure. When using a console connection, EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default; it cannot be reached by a VTY connection if no password is configured. 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. Task Command Syntax Create a password to enable [password | secret] [level level] access EXEC [encryption-type] password Privilege mode. Command Mode CONFIGURATION Create a VLAN The Default VLAN is part of the system startup configuration, and is by default, VLAN 1. You may make another VLAN the Default VLAN. The Default VLAN cannot be deleted, disabled, or configured (you cannot assign it an IP address), and only untagged interfaces can belong to it. When an interface is configured, a switchport automatically places it in the default VLAN as an untagged interface. All switchports must belong to at least one VLAN, so to remove a switchport from the Default VLAN, you must place it as tagged or untagged in some other VLAN, or remove the switchport configuration.
