hi,

just to clear, you're issuing the command in global config mode?

Switch(config)#username <USER> privilege <LEVEL> secret <PW>

kindly post the exact command and error you get.

Hi @johnlloyd_13

yes i am issuing in Global Config Mode and the same command that you mentioned

there is no error the thing is whenever i created any user like 

Switch(config)#username <TEST> privilege <5> secret <TEST123>

and logout for verification and i entered the created username password it does not login into the switch

hi,

how do you login? console or via SSH?

you'll need to 'login local' under line config (if you're not using AAA):

line con 0

login local

line vty 0 4

login local
