Configuring Basic Settings
This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on your security appliance that are typically
required for a functioning configuration. This chapter includes the following sections:
• Changing the Enable Password, page 7-1
• Setting the Hostname, page 7-2
• Setting the Domain Name, page 7-2
• Setting the Date and Time, page 7-2
• Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall, page 7-5
Changing the Enable Password
The enable password lets you enter privileged EXEC mode. By default, the enable password is blank. To
change the enable password, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# enable password
password
The password is a case-sensitive password of up to 16 alphanumeric and special characters. You can use
any character in the password except a question mark or a space.
This command changes the password for the highest privilege level. If you configure local command
authorization, you can set enable passwords for each privilege level from 0 to 15.
The password is saved in the configuration in encrypted form, so you cannot view the original password
after you enter it. Enter the enable password command without a password to set the password to the
default, which is blank.
