CLI Reference Guide
Use this command to setup the enable password to enter into different privileged
modes. Use the no form of the command to return the password for all levels to
an empty string. When a level is specified, the password for that level is returned
to an empty string.
Sets the privilege level the password will protect. The privilege level is either 12
or 15. If this argument is not specified in the command or in the no form of the
command, the privilege level defaults to 15 (the traditional enable privileges).
Specifies the password the user must enter to gain access to the switch. The
password must be from 6 to 32 characters (the length of password in plain-text
form may be project-dependant) and can contain embedded spaces. The
password is case-sensitive. The syntax is a general string that allows spaces.
Specifies the password in the encrypted form based on SHA-I. For the encrypted
form of the password, the length is fixed to 35 bytes long. The password is case-
sensitive.
Using the show username or show enable password command, an encrypted
password can be copied and pasted to this command option.
No enable password is configured.
Global configuration at privilege level 15
Only accepts level 12 and 15.
An error message will appear if other levels are specified.
The exact password for the specific level needs to be used in order to enter the
specific level of the privileged EXEC mode.
Each level has only one password in order to enter that level.
This example shows how to create an enable password for privilege level 15 with
"MyEnablePassword".
Verify the settings by entering the show enable password command.
