I have a catalyst 3500 switch with the following details:
IOS (tm) C3500XL Software (C3500XL-C3H2S-M), Version 12.0(5.3)WC(1),
the switch is configured with an IP, I browse to it using that IP, and I have the following problems:
1- whenever I try to telnet to the switch, i get the following error:
Password required, but none set
even though whne i browse to the switch, i am prompted for a password...
2- I am trying to use the "Web Console" to set SNMP community but this does not work either even though some other commands of this console work.
below is an extract of the output of the "show running-configuration command"
Current configuration:
!
version 12.0
no service pad
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime
no service password-encryption
!
hostname xyz
!
enable password xyz
!
spanning-tree uplinkfast
!
ip subnet-zero
ip tcp timestamp
ip tcp async-mobility server
ip telnet quiet
.

.
interface VLAN1
ip address w.x.y.z 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
!
ip default-gateway l.m.n.o
snmp-server engineID local 000000090200000628BFA440
snmp-server enable traps config
!
line con 0
transport input none
stopbits 1
line vty 5 15
!
end
Please help as this is quite crucial from me... THANK YOU

To setup your Telnet connection, do the following:
enable
(password)
config t
line vty 5 15
password ThsI$@g00d1
end
or,
enable
(password)
config t
username Myusername password ThsI$@g00d1
line vty 5 15
login local
end
Now when you Telnet to the switch, you will be promted for 1) a password, or 2) a username and password. You do not need both. For #2, ensure that the local account is created BEFORE you specify "login local" or you will have to login through the console port.

To answer question 1, you need to set a telnet password on the switch otherwise it will not let you telnet to it. try in global config
switch(config)#line vty 0 15
switch(config-line)#password xxxxxxx
switch(config-line)#login
This should allow you to telnet in using the set password.

By the way - what are the vty parameters?
For instance all our cat3524's default to:
line vty 0 4
password ***
login
line vty 5 15
password ***
login
I've always just accepted them without much thought - but now you have me curious :-)

You need to set line vty 0 4 password and login. The password it expects to see is that one. The telnet sessions start on vty 0 and go up from there
