Command Usage
• Privilege level 0 provides access to a limited number of the commands which
display the current status of the switch, as well as several database clear and
reset functions. Level 8 provides access to all display status and configuration
commands, except for those controlling various authentication and security
features. Level 15 provides full access to all commands.
• The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy password
settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when reading the configuration file
during system bootup or when downloading the configuration file from an FTP/
TFTP server. There is no need for you to manually configure encrypted
passwords.

enable password
After initially logging onto the system, you should set the Privileged Exec password.
Remember to record it in a safe place. This command controls access to the
Privileged Exec level from the Normal Exec level. Use the no form to reset the
default password.
