Hi,
I have some servers here that needed a more stable router than my WNDR3700 with dd-wrt could offer. I have never used the Cisco IOS before and am a gui lover by nature. After reading about the new CCP and its flexability I made the plunge. I have done the initial configuration via a serial connection. I gave the router its basic information and figured out how to turn on HTTP/HTTPS via the IOS. CCP pro is unable to discover the router due to a bad username or password. I entered in 3 different passwords during setup but never a username and password. I thought all I needed to do was to create a new level 15 username and password.
I found this command
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret 0 password
I tried to use the new user but I still couldnt discover the router when I use "show users all" I do not see the created user.
I have been at it for several hours now. I had hoped that with these new ISR gen2 routers I wouldnt need to learn to much of the IOS at once. Is this not the case?

Hi Dave,
Cisco 1900 Router should be shipped with a default configuration for you to able to discover the router with the IP address 10.10.10.1. However, if you have already changed the default config, the command you are using to configure a username is correct.
You could be seeing an incorrect username password error on Cisco CP if you are missing the below command:
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
I have just mentioned the mandatory configuration on the router to be able to discover the router on CCP:
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret password
Router(config)# ip http server
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
Router(config)# ip http secure-server <-- for secure connection
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)# line vty 5 15
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input all
Thanks

Thanks a lot chaitram.
I'm reading the CCNA Voice 640-461 by jeremy and he didn't put ip http authentication local in the book. I've been picking out my brain in the past 1 hour but you just solved the problem.
