Hello there,

I've been recently studying the CCENT as some may know and have come across problems no end when setting up security be it on a switch or router now.

I believe my setup doesn't actually support SSH as when trying to setup an account for SDM on my router I can only setup the HTTP services and not HTTPS (no biggie, im using 2600 series cheap from ebay so im guessing it doesn't support SSH access).

Anyway im trying to configure DHCP via the SDM as its required for the exam im sitting in a week, but the user account I created for telent sessions will not allow me to even login can someone tell me where im going wrong?

Im using the username: admin / passwordassword (super simple) and when telnetting to the router is just giving me invalid credentials prompt!@!

My config is below, im sure you guys will find the error somewhere

Thanks!

Instead of "login local", could you just try the usual "login" command under the line vty 0 to 4 ?

 

Sorted the problem, thanks for putting me in the right direction Si

 

What config was causing it?

 

Well I tried using login, but it didn't request me for a username only a password. So I ripped the config and re added it.

*Username Brad privilege 15 password password*

Then jumped under the VTY lines and used login local and worked!

I think the problem was the first time round I didn't specify the privilege level of the user account.

Thanks anyway Simon, made me realise in the end!

Rep +

Regards,
Brad.
