Default Configuration This command has no default configuration. Command Mode Global Configuration mode User Guidelines The Dell EMC Networking firmware emulates industry standard behavior for enable mode authentication over SSH and telnet. The default enable authentication method for telnet and SSH uses the enableNetList method, which requires an enable password. If users are unable to enter privileged mode when accessing the switch via telnet or SSH, the administrator will need to either change the enable authentication method, e.g. to enableList, or set an enable password. If the encrypted parameter is specified, the password parameter is stored as entered in the running-config. No attempt is made to decode the encrypted password. To use the ! character as part of the username or password string, it should be enclosed within quotation marks. For example, username "test!xyz" password "test!xyz". Security Commands 984
